This article is more than 8 years old.

So what’s new? Well, jobs have got their own page, there are more events, and the history page is making a return, but above all, we are striving to be even more relevant and useful to our readership

Out on Thursday; available until the end of the month

We’re all guilty of spending too much time on our smartphones – or so the surveys tell us. Congratulations if you’re one of the few who can minimise your time online, but still source the news and other information relevant to your career and other needs.

Here at the Copenhagen Post, we’re acutely aware that your time is precious, and our new-look print edition is designed so you can access relevant news at a far quicker speed than via a smartphone.

Invaluable aid
By focusing on news and information that could either affect your career or living circumstances here in Denmark, or enhance your cultural and leisure possibilities, and delivering it in a succinct, accessible manner, we’re confident our print edition is an invaluable aid to internationals in Denmark.

Above everything, we pride ourselves on being a service. Sensational news can sometimes come with the territory, but our main goal is to give you the information that can really make a difference.

New-look edition
Our first edition since the summer break hits the newsstands on Thursday August 11, and there are some changes afoot – not least a jobs page, more event listings, the return of our history page and a revamped film section.

For several years now, we have been experimenting with fewer issues during the off-season, whether it is July and Jul (Christmas). And from now on, we’ll be printing fewer editions – most particularly during the Danish winter – at an average rate of one every two to three weeks.

The change will enable us to produce tighter editions, brimful with relevant material, and to further consolidate and improve our online activities.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
