What does the curfew mean for family caregivers?
A curfew will apply throughout the Netherlands from Saturday, Jan. 23, 9 p.m. to Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2021, at 4:30 a.m. .
From 9 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. everyone stays inside. It is forbidden to be on the streets without a valid reason.
You will only go outside if it is necessary. If it is necessary for you to go outside, you must carry the Self-declaration form curfew.
Impact on family caregivers
Do you provide informal care and the person you care for does not live in your home? Does your loved one need informal care between 9 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. that you cannot shift to a time before or after curfew? Then you may go outside for this. It is necessary that you have a personal statement of curfew with you.
