Because the virus is spreading in particular in Noord-Brabant, the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment advises residents of the province to stay at home if they have a cough or a cold or fever.

Larger groups

But as a result, perhaps fewer children and employees show up at the Day-care. As a result, daycare centers may be forced to form larger groups or deploy more invaders than the rules allow.

Leniency

As long as the RIVM measures are useful, they do not have to be afraid of a hard inspection report, but can count on leniency, the central government reports.

During the time that the RIVM measure applies to Noord-Brabant, the supervisor in that area will take the situation into account. In the event that the BKR is exceeded, the size of the group is exceeded, if there are no fixed faces and if groups are merged as a result of force majeure, the supervisor will make a judgment as to whether there has been a violation, taking into account that the safety and importance of children should not become evident damaged.

This measure has been taken to prevent (extra) staff shortages in other sectors due to the closure of childcare locations – due to staff shortages as a result of the temporary measure of the RIVM.

RIVM advice

RIVM advises residents of the province of Noord-Brabant to limit their social contacts in the event of a cold, cough or fever. This means: stay at home.

GGD

The GGDs, who supervise the Day-care, take into account the difficulties, says the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment (SZW). Although “the safety and importance of children cannot be obviously harmed”.
