‘The new measures to contain the virus are a painful step backwards for all of us, but there is no other choice. We must do everything in our power to prevent many, especially older and vulnerable fellow citizens from becoming very ill or even dying again, ‘she writes.

Halsema says he understands that things are not easy and that many emotions are released: ‘Doubt, sadness, frustration, sometimes anger. Those emotions are understandable. After the lockdown in the spring, we now have to experience it all again, and maybe not even for the last time. Sometimes that makes you despondent.
–
‘But right now we have to try to be strong, keep the courage and support each other. We want our normal life back as soon as possible, and we also want our city back: that free, vibrant place where we meet. That is why we have to persevere, even if it is not easy. I wish you a lot of patience, courage and strength, ”said the mayor’s encouraging words.
