When asked whether there will be a second wave of infections in the Netherlands, Brug says that this depends on proper observance of the basic rules. “If we do that very well, the public space can be further opened up. But the virus is here, we have to live with the virus. If we have a properly working vaccine, the consequences may be limited. But how it develops we don’t know “, he said in Buitenhof.
In addition to declining hospital admissions, Brug also sees other positive effects of the measures. “Because we don’t kiss each other three times at an appointment, other infectious diseases are now less common. This is further proof that keeping a distance works. Diarrhea is very rare, because we finally wash our hands before cooking and food.”
