October 1710 CE

It is unclear whether the plague has already arrived in Zealand's northeastern port of Helsingør (Elsinore), where the Sound Dues are collected from entering ship, and where a suspicious series of deaths is reported by the local health commission, allegedly starting with the death in the town on October 1, 1710, of a Dutch passenger arriving from Stockholm.
