Childcare and schools will close from tomorrow until April 6. Exceptions are children of parents in ‘vital professions’. They can go where they always go, it was just announced at a news conference. An overview of the vital professions.
The national government has made these crucial professional groups public on the site. These are people who work in the following industries:
- Care, including production and transport of medicines and medical devices.
- Teachers and staff needed at school, such as for distance learning, childcare and exams.
- People who work in public transport.
- People who work for the food chain. The food chain must be viewed broadly. This consists of supermarkets, the supply of supermarkets, the processing industry and the transports of this industry, but also the collection of products from farmers, the delivery of, for example, cattle feed and other products to farmers, the access of workers to the harvest.
- Transport of fuels such as coal, oil, petrol and diesel.
- Transport of waste and garbage.
- Day-care.
- Media and communication: for the provision of information to society that is necessary to keep abreast of what is going on.
- Continuity of emergency services. Think of people who work for the control room processes, fire service, ambulance care, GHOR and crisis management of the safety regions.
- Necessary government processes (central government, province and municipality). Think of: payment of benefits and surcharges, civil affairs, consulates and embassies,
