At just after 5pm on Monday, my phone rang. I missed the call – I was in one of Copenhagen’s
supermarkets, buying groceries and toilet paper and soap and things I still do not need to think
anything like the videos I’ve seen on social media from my home country, the UK. When I
looked down at my phone, I saw a string of messages from a close family member.
then: “I’ve lost my job.”
Minutes earlier, the UK government had announced new measures to combat the now rapidly
“pubs, theatres and other social venues”. This, of course, seems like a sensible move.
But for my family member, who along with hundreds of thousands of other workers in the UK
was short-lived. His manager at the pub where he works full-time as a supervisor had already
called him into the office with the news that there would be no more shifts until further notice. And
holiday. In other words: no way to pay rent or bills, to get by. […]

twice about getting hold of. Danes aren’t panic-buying, or at least not in a way that resembles
anything like the videos I’ve seen on social media from my home country, the UK. When I
looked down at my phone, I saw a string of messages from a close family member.

“Oh my god,” read the first text. And the second. And the third. “Oh my god. Oh my god.” And
then: “I’ve lost my job.”
Minutes earlier, the UK government had announced new measures to combat the now rapidly

spreading pandemic in the country, advising against all “non-essential” contact including visits to
“pubs, theatres and other social venues”. This, of course, seems like a sensible move.
But for my family member, who along with hundreds of thousands of other workers in the UK
12
is employed on a zero-hours contract, any relief brought by the knowledge of government action
was short-lived. His manager at the pub where he works full-time as a supervisor had already
called him into the office with the news that there would be no more shifts until further notice. And
15
there would be no redundancy pay. There would be no sick pay. There was no option to take
holiday. In other words: no way to pay rent or bills, to get by. […]
On Wednesday last week the Danish government announced it was entering a phase of
18
“domestic lockdown” in its attempts to curb the pandemic. And although these stringent
“social distancing” measures are now not entirely dissimilar from those outlined in Boris Johnson’s
statement on Monday, provisions for most workers could not be more different.
