It works under Denmark's "corona-passport" system where people can either use a mobile app or a government-approved form to show if they have been vaccinated, previously infected or have had a negative test in the past 72 hours.

"I think it's an extremely good initiative and they give you a free beer as well," said Claudiu Lutic, who took a test before being seated outside while waiting for the result.
