Returning to Denmark (from US) without negative PCR - document of recovery an option?
 
Hello everyone,
I am in a bit of a pickle right now. I am a US Citizen but have been living / working in Denmark (Copenhagen) for the past 3 years. I recently returned to the US for a family event and tested positive for COVID (with symptoms). Now, I have isolated and do not have symptoms anymore but I heard that it could take several weeks to get a negative PCR test which I am need of if I want to fly home (back to Denmark). Now, I heard about this 'Document of recovery' which basically states that I have isolated and am no longer contagious but from everything I have read, this is only for returning to the US as opposed to flying out of the US.
My question is, does the EU or Denmark have anything like the 'document of recovery' that is a suitable replacement for a negative PCR test so I can board a flight to Denmark? Am I screwed and I absolutely have to wait for a negative PCR test to board a flight which could take weeks?
Thanks very much for your help :)

Doesn't Denmark accept a positive PCR test, more than two weeks old and less than six months, as evidence that you are not infected?

Don't you have a vaccination certificate?

Hi there. Actually, as I was doing research, I realized that Denmark no longer requires a negative PCR within 72 hours according to their official website (coronasmitte .dk)! But you are correct (I believe). If I was not vaccinated (I am vaccinated for the record...), I could provide my positive PCR after 14 days and that should suffice. But as I am vaccinated, and based on the new rules, I should be fine to board my flight without issue!

Even fully-vaccinated American tourists have been able to fly from the US to CPH without tests since from part of this past summer. And it’s still good to go with the CDC vaccination card.
