Measures for the six regions with the most infections

The walk-in of guests horeca stops at midnight. Then the music must also be turned off. Catering establishments have to close at 1.00 am.

It is forbidden to put you in a company of more than 50 people to stop. This applies for parties, drinks and outings for groups, both indoors and outdoors. Exceptions are in effect for demonstrations, religious gatherings, funerals, and dance and theater performances.

One applies for meetings with more than 50 people duty to report. This applies, for example, to publicly accessible concerts in a park. There is an exception to this notification requirement for, for example, occasions where there is a flow of visitors.

Regional measures

Amsterdam will preventively close a number of parks to be announced later at night to prevent illegal parties. Furthermore, public buildings such as libraries, city district offices and swimming pools will only be open at special times of the day for the elderly and people with poor health. The security region is asking shops and museums to do the same.

The Safety Region Rotterdam-Rijnmond (Rotterdam, Schiedam, Vlaardingen) will again enforce the corona measures more strictly, for example in markets and in places where many young people are, says Rotterdam mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb, chairman of this Safety Region.

Aboutaleb calls on supermarkets to make more efforts to comply with the corona measures. He does not rule out the recurrence of the obligation to wear a mouth mask in busy areas, but is not planning to do so for the time being.

Also in the region Haaglanden enforcement of compliance with the corona rules will be intensified. There will be inspections at catering establishments, party halls, sports facilities and student societies. If the rules are broken after a warning, it will close for two weeks. If the rules are repeatedly broken, it will be closed for a month. If the measures are subsequently ignored again, it will be closed for a period of three months.

Just as in Amsterdam, window times are set for vulnerable groups at government locations in The Hague, such as libraries, swimming pools and city district offices. The security region asks organizations and companies to do the same.

Of Safety region Utrecht wants student associations and sports clubs, among others, to come up with an action plan to prevent further spread of the corona virus. Acting mayor Peter den Oudsten agreed with them on Friday.

In Haarlem and surroundings illegal parties are prevented by designating areas where people are not allowed to be present at night. For example, the Kennemerland Safety Region wants to stop the spread of the corona virus.
