1711 CE

The plague had ultimately spread, despite the precautions, from Helsingør to Copenhagen, where from June to November 1711, between twelve thousand and twenty-three thousand people have died out of a population of around sixty thousand.

Only on September 19 does the king decree that people from Zealand must not go to other Danish regions without a special passport; Zealand indeed remains the only Danish region with cases of the plague, except for Holstein.
