A Danish man has been sentenced to four months in prison for coughing at a policeman and shouting "corona". The suspect was found guilty of "attempted violence" against public officials and convicted by Denarmk's Supreme Court on Thursday. The 20-year-old man was driving home from a birthday party in Aarhus when police carried out a routine check on 29 March during the country's first semi-confinement. The court heard how the man had shouted "corona" and coughed on the two officers just 50 centimetres away. The man explained he had been drunk, but the police arrested him for his behaviour. He later tested negative for COVID-19.
