Danish Regulator Spillemyndighedens Sends Staff Home

Denmark's gaming regulator Spillemyndighedens has sent home their staff through March 29th due to the spread of the novel coronavirus and the government's decision to keep all non-essential government employees home to prevent the spread of the virus.

Spillemyndighedens employees will be working from home, and employees will take part in online meetings, rather than having in-person assemblies. The governments of various countries are facing disruptions to their gaming regulation services. Latvia isn't taking in-person visitors at their offices until April 14th, and Lithuania revealed that self-exclusion requests are only being accepted online until March 27th.

Commenting on the closure a Spillemyndighedens spokesman said, "We hope that the situation can be resolved with the fewest possible nuisances and regret the hassle it may cause."
