By UnreguserLin Jing

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Danish Health Minister Magnus Heunicke announced on Friday a ten-point initiative including the requirement of face masks on all forms of public transport in Aarhus, Denmark's second-largest city in the wake of an alarming rise of COVID-19 infections.

"We are not repeating the country's March 11 comprehensive shutdown in Arhus. We believe that with 'needle stick' operations, we can stop the virus with a local effort," said Heunicke at a press briefing, following an all-party meeting to discuss the problem in the parliament.
