Again they still have mandates for wearing face masks at Hospitals, GPs, Care home sand Airports. They have restrictions and mandatory quarantine for unvaccinated non Danish citizens/residents and they haven't ruled out restrictions coming back, like they did when the third wave hit them last time.
The reason for them being able to remove the restrictions again is due to their high vaccination rates, that the restrictions on movement and mandated vaccine passes was working and that they have a world class health care system that can currently cope with the cases requiring hospitalisation.
The paper that apologised is, I believe, known for being sensationalist. It has apologised for not asking questions that reporters in other countries (and perhaps even in other Danish media outlets) had already asked regarding the reporting of Covid19 hospitalisation numbers.
