Transfer in FRA
My wife is a US citizen now entitled to enter Denmark according to the new family rules there. Question: her flight route departing the US involves a transfer in FRA to catch the flight FRA-CPH. She is not entitled to "enter" Germany. Is transfering in FRA ok? I would assume so since she is only changing planes and not leaving the terminal. However, I guess one assumes nothing these days.

As far as I see from the current entry restrictions below, she is not able to transfer via Germany.
BA operates LHR-CPH x3 weekly and the UK allows international to international airside transfer. - This might be an option
