Denmark’s Supreme Court sentenced a man to four months’ imprisonment for coughing at two police officers while shouting "corona" during a routine traffic stop in March last year.丹麥最高法院判處一名男子4個月徒刑，因為他去年3月在一次例行性道路攔檢時，一邊說著「冠狀病毒」，一邊朝2名警員咳嗽。
The incident, which took place when the country was under full coronavirus lockdown, led to the defendant being arrested on charges of threatening behavior, although he later tested negative for COVID-19.
這起事件發生在全國處於新冠肺炎全面封鎖措施期間，因此被告被以行為具威脅性為由逮捕，儘管他之後檢測結果為陰性。
Other similar incidents were reported in Denmark last year, partly reflecting declining public trust in the government’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis, while similar cases were reported in the UK, the United States and Canada.
丹麥去年通報其他類似事件，部分反映出公眾對政府處理疫情危機的信任下滑，而英國、美國和加拿大也都傳出類似事件。
English and Welsh police forces registered 200 incidents a week of spitting or coughing at officers - usually preceded by the offenders saying they were infected, an investigation last April by British daily The Telegraph found.（Reuters）
英國《每日電訊報》去年4月調查顯示，英格蘭和威爾斯警方每週登錄200宗民眾朝警員吐口水或咳嗽的案件，而且民眾通常會先說自己已被感染。（路透）
