Test and vaccination locations closed earlier due to high winds, Posbank also remains closed | Inland

“Due to the storm that raged over our country, there is still too much loose material, which causes nuisance for our visitors,” GGD NOG reports. The GGD will contact the people who had an appointment for Sunday afternoon to move them.

In Almere, the test and vaccination location will close at 4.30 pm. The location in Almere is located in a tent. By closing earlier, the GGD Flevoland hopes to “guarantee the safety of both employees and clients.” Existing appointments for the Almere location will be moved to another location or to another day. All locations in Flevoland are expected to be open again on Monday.

Earlier this week, many testing and vaccination sites across the country were closed earlier or completely due to storms Dudley and Eunice.

Dangerous

In any case, the Posbank nature reserve on the Veluwezoom will remain closed to visitors all day on Sunday. According to the municipality of Rheden, the area is too dangerous, because many branches and treetops hang loose, while the wind is blowing again. The municipality is trying to clear up the damage as quickly as possible.

In De Hoge Veluwe National Park, the paved roads and bicycle paths will be accessible again on Sunday. For other trails, it will take a few more days before all storm damage is cleared up again. the park said.

Staatsbosbeheer also warns hikers and cyclists not to go to the forest on Sunday. Foresters will inspect the damage this weekend. Many trees and branches only need a small gust of wind to break and fall. The forest rangers will decide in the coming days whether planned excursions and other activities can continue. Registered participants will be notified of this, according to Staatsbosbeheer.

The nature manager says that more open areas, such as dunes, heathland and polders, are safe to visit.

The KNMI again warns on Sunday for heavy wind gusts across the country. During the day on Sunday it will be very windy again with heavy wind gusts of 70 to 90 kilometers per hour in the coastal provinces, increasing for some time to 90 to 110 kilometers per hour in the evening. In the evening, wind gusts of 75 to 100 kilometers per hour can also occur inland. The KNMI has therefore declared code yellow for the entire country.
