The sale of alcohol has been banned in the Greenland capital Nuuk in a bid to reduce violence against children during the period of confinement over the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government announced.
"In such a situation, we have to take numerous measures to avoid infection," government leader Kim Kielsen said in a statement on Saturday.
"But at the heart of my decision is the protection of children, they have to have a safe home."
