After two weeks Catshuis meeting again about corona | Inland

It is an informal meeting, formal decisions will only be taken on Tuesday. Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Corona Minister Hugo de Jonge are expected to give another press conference on Tuesday evening, in which they may announce new rules.

Sources expect that this will probably not involve drastic measures. There will probably also be no regional measures. This can change if the figures are disappointing. Last Thursday and Friday they rose again, Saturday and Sunday they fell again.

Rutte said on Friday during his weekly press conference that he also wanted to offer more insight into the holidays. He does not expect to be able to say anything about it in terms of content, but rather about how the decision-making will be made. It is also certain that the corona rules that were announced two weeks ago, such as the closing of theaters and museums, will automatically expire next Wednesday.

In addition to Rutte and De Jonge, ministers Tamara van Ark (Medical Care), Ferd Grapperhaus (Justice), Wopke Hoekstra (Finance), Eric Wiebes (Economic Affairs), Wouter Koolmees (Social Affairs) and Deputy Prime Ministers Kajsa Ollongren and Carola Schouten are also present. at the Catshuis consultation, sources say. RIVM boss Jaap van Dissel is also there to talk about the latest corona figures.

The last Catshuis meeting took place two weeks ago, which lasted an exceptionally long time. The following Tuesday, stricter corona measures were announced.
