Since the coronavirus lockdown happened in Denmark, Sweden’s border control checks for bridge traffic dropped off even further than before for rail passengers.
Even with Denmark opening up again in May, Swedish passport control checks of rail passengers remain very infrequent. But with Denmark’s gradual opening in May, Swedish Customs’ checks of rail passengers have increased and are now more commonly done by plain-clothes Swedish customs officers (and a non-traditional breed of sniffer dog) than by uniformed officers.
