丹麦周三放宽了对新冠病毒的限制措施，重新开放了学校和日托中心。但是由于担心第二轮新冠病毒感染，成千上万的家长把孩子留在了家中。

Christian Wejse is a scientist at the department of infectious diseases at Aarhus University. Wejse said he understood people's worries "because we've spent a month trying to avoid contact." But he added that new infections would not be a problem for children because "few fall ill, and those who do won't get very sick."
克里斯蒂安·韦斯是奥尔胡斯大学传染病学系的一名科学家。韦斯表示，他理解人们的担心，“因为我们花了一个月时间试图避免接触。”但是他还说，对于孩子来说，不会发生新感染的问题，因为“很少有孩子感染，感染了也病得不重。”
He told Danes to look at neighboring Sweden, which has kept schools open without a big rise in infections. Children, he added, do not seem to be much of a carrier of the infection.
