Meanwhile, the forerunners of “Malik” met with Denmark. 10,000 rescuers were ready there, as reported by the Ritzau Agency. In Frederiksund, 20 people dependent on daily care have been moved to safer places as a precaution, broadcaster TV2 reports.

If there was a flood, the supply of these people could not be guaranteed, the reason was given. According to the broadcaster DR, on the island of Zeeland, on which the capital Copenhagen is also located, almost all regional train traffic was stopped as a precaution.
