The cabinet will definitely not announce any relaxation of the corona measures at the press conference on Monday. That means that the curfew will also be extended again. Experts have made it clear to the most concerned ministers in the Catshuis today that the infection figures are still too bad to loosen the reins, say insiders.
The cabinet will, however, make preparations to give society more space in three weeks’ time. If the grades go in the right direction, the terraces can open and physical education can also be given at higher professional education and universities.
Shopping may then also be expanded. Now a non-essential store may receive a maximum of two customers per floor, in the new system the maximum number of customers is calculated on the basis of the number of square meters.
Vaccination certificate or rapid test
The cabinet will continue to look at options for giving people more freedom if they have a vaccination certificate or have taken a rapid test with a negative result. According to the insiders, a proposal for this is being further elaborated. It is important that there should be no compulsion to vaccinate.
If the infection figures fall, the cabinet wants to make outdoor sports in groups possible for adults in three weeks. Now that is allowed until the age of 27.
Curfew will remain in effect until March 30. It had already been agreed that the police will not issue a fine during the elections on 15, 16 and 17 March if someone can prove that he is still out after 9 p.m. because of casting his vote or working in the polling station.
