Surely we will be allowed to celebrate Easter in church, even if we just meet for prayers.

Relevant?

There are no public religious services in Denmark either, irrespective of denomination.

Various online services are available.

I find it slightly odd, considering the relative size of most churches and congregations, it should surely have been possible to ensure there were 2 metres between each person.
They could have been asked to wear masks as well.

Closing churches in a time of crisis seems rather strange, after all.

Only the buildings are closed. The church is alive and flourishing not only online, but in private prayer and individual acts of kindness. Some are open where they are in use a community hubs, or food banks,
