A majority of Denmark's municipalities and rescue services completed their inspections of concrete cover graves (betondækningsgrave) before the March 15, 2026 deadline. Four municipalities and four municipal rescue services were granted deadline extensions. Styrelsen for Samfundssikkerhed is currently processing the received reports and has stated it is not yet possible to draw final conclusions about capacity until the full analysis is complete. The nationwide inspection was preceded by a pilot inspection in October 2025 before the full rollout in December 2025.
