Lockdown from Tuesday, December 15, 2020

The coronavirus is once again rampant. In recent weeks we have seen a rapid increase in the number of infections, up to about 9,000 per day. Hospitals and nursing homes are also adding patients every day.

And that affects Health: already more than a million regular hospital treatments have been postponed. Unfortunately, the source of an infection cannot always be traced. But what is clear: the more contacts, the more infections. To keep the Health accessible, we must intervene and minimize our contacts.

Therefore, from Tuesday, Dec. 15, until at least Tuesday, Jan. 19, the Netherlands will go into the strictest lockdown yet.  

More information on the lockdown and a summary of measures can be found on the Rijksoverheid website.
