Danida Fellowship Centre’s COVID-19 guidelines

At the Danida Fellowship Centre, we follow the developments of COVID-19 closely.
We strongly recommend that Danida fellows always comply with the guidelines given by the Danish health authorities.
On the Danish Health Authorities’ Website you can get a quick overview of all applicable COVID-19 measures and restrictions, as well as statistics about the spread of the virus in Denmark.
Please note that all public free of charge testing facilities are closed. PCR test is only available upon payment. Overview of current test facilities can be obtained by contacting your DFC coordinator or the DFC reception. Home test kit can be purchased in pharmacies and drugstores everywhere.

There are no longer COVID-19 restrictions in Denmark.
Nevertheless, please keep yourself up-to-date by checking current rules and regulations prior to any travels to and from Denmark.

If you have COVID-19 symptoms
If you have symptoms of COVID-19 and feel sick, we recommend that you get a PCR-test. You must then self-isolate in your accommodation until you feel better. Unless you feel particularly ill, there is no need to contact a doctor; however, if you are worried or have questions about what you should do, you should contact the relevant COVID-19 hotline here. Outside office hours, you can call the medical helpline in your region.

In the Copenhagen area, the helpline is +45 1813.

If you test positive for COVID-19
If your test result comes back positive (positiv or påvist), you are infected with covid-19 and must observe current guidelines from the Danish authorities as per above link– read about what applies to you here.
Please also make sure you let DFC know in case you test positive during your study stay in Denmark.
