Copenhagen Dec 27 (BNA): Denmark recorded the highest number of coronavirus cases per day since the start of the pandemic with 16,164 new cases in the past 24 hours.
The figure published by Danish health authorities on Monday broke the previous daily record set in the Scandinavian country only on Sunday when 14,844 new infections were documented, according to the Associated Press.
Seven people infected with COVID-19 have died in the past 24 hours. Officials said that put the total death toll in Denmark at 3,217.
The number of coronavirus infections in Denmark started rising sharply in early December but by last week the pace appeared to have leveled off.
But health officials said the number of infections has started to rise dramatically again over the past few days.
