I wonder how this relates to the general spread of the disease in a region. Denmark has a much lower rate of spread than many places in the US.
The article doesn't say when this was carried out. Was it when there were few active cases[1]. If this was carried out during the time with few active cases it would be like testing an umbrella by walking around with it open on a day with a low chance of rain. Doesn't do a good job of testing the umbrella.
There is other research showing better protection like that at Beaumont health system[2]. This was in environments with varying levels of exposures (including nurses treating COVID patients).
I wish there were more details.
