For now, though, couples will need to show shared text messages, private photos or personal information about their partner, Danish police said earlier in the day. “I realize these are very intimate things, but the decision to let in the partner ultimately rests on the judgment of the individual police officer,” he said.
Since then, elderly couples have been seen on the Danish-German border drinking coffee on each side of border and holding hands over the barriers to stay in touch with each other.
