“A resident on the Meir had invited far too many people to his apartment. In total, just over 60 individuals were identified, all between the ages of 18 and 34. They were all fined for non-compliance with the corona measures, ”said police spokesman Willem Migom.
However, the latest figures from Sciensano revealed that one in three new corona patients is between 20 and 40 years old. Experts reiterate that we should continue to be careful, specifically targeting young people.
