In the Netherlands, no corner of the country can escape the latest offensive of the corona virus. This week, some areas may turn red on the European map.

From hamlet to metropolis, from north to south, positive tests everywhere are skyrocketing at an unprecedented rate. On the latest corona map of the Netherlands, which will be determined on Tuesday, several regions are at the highest alarm level. The situation is now very serious.
The province of Utrecht also crossed the line of ‘very serious’ this weekend. There were no fewer than 1,541 positive tests on Saturday. That is a national record: never before have so many infections been registered in a single day in any region. The regions of Kennemerland, Rotterdam-Rijnmond, Hollands Midden, Gooi en Vechtstreek and Haaglanden are still one or two days away from ‘very serious’ with many positive tests. Then eight parts of the Netherlands, all of which are still worrisome, would jump to the highest level.
The Netherlands will therefore probably change color on the European corona map next week. Now the country is still predominantly orange, with some green areas here and there, thanks to the corona lee that ended last week. But on the new map, from next Thursday, Noord-Holland, Zuid-Holland, Utrecht and Groningen will probably turn red. As a result of that card, other countries can advise their citizens against coming to the Netherlands, and they can set strict conditions for Dutch people who want to come and celebrate a holiday.
