Greenlanders abroad to be flown home ‘as soon as possible’ as UK coronavirus variant spreads
Once about 1,000 or so Greenlanders living in Denmark have been repatriated, the country plans to suspend inbound flights until the end of February.
The thousand or so Greenland residents in Denmark told to hunker down there until January 12 in order to avoid a surge of potential COVID-19 bearers returning to the country after Christmas will instead be flown home starting Friday amid fears that delaying their return would increase the chances they will introduce a highly contagious variant of the virus that is now making its way across Europe.
