I wondered about the last sentence — what restrictions is Denmark imposing? Because I heard that now that their vaccination rates are so high, they decided NOT to restrict significantly.

And it doesn't seem strict to me. https://coronasmitte.dk/raad-og-regler explains. For schools, for example, sick children are sent home and (this is the special rule) kept separate from other children until they their parents pick them up. Sick children's contacts are tested, not quarantined. For offices, employers are "strongly encouraged to ensure" that people can work from home and may require that employees show proof of vaccination (IIRC the disease plus a booster counts as vaccination in this context). There's more. It's not quite as laisser-faire as some HNers would prefer, but I wouldn't call it strict.
