I'm also wondering what is going to be the next step. A lot of "expats" in Sweden are wondering if they can go to DK to catch their flights. A lot of them don't want to believe what they read from the rules (you can fly into CPH and then head back to Sweden but not vice versa).

The advice not to travel starts to make sense now that they have changed the reason to risk of other countries closing down like DK. When I heard the advice first time, the reason were to reduce the risk of someone bringing the virus into DK, which is hilarious since DK has been close to the top 10 of most infected people for a while and is close to top 5 if you look at cases per 1M citizens.
Totally agree.

Schengen is dead.
