Safety measures apply to the regions of Amsterdam - Amstelland, Brabant-Noord, Brabant-Zuidoost, Flevoland, Gelderland-Zuid, Gooi en Vechtstreek, Groningen, Haaglanden, Hollands Midden, Kennemerland, Rotterdam-Rijnmond, Utrecht, Zaanstreek-Waterland, Zuid-Holland Zuid . Currently, the number of infections in these 14 regions is growing the fastest.
Three measures were announced:
– in restaurants, cafes and bars, reception of guests ends at midnight. Then the music also turns off. At 01.00 everything closes.
– you cannot gather in groups of more than 50 people. This applies, for example, to parties, get-togethers and walks. The ban applies both indoors and outdoors. There are a number of exceptions, such as demonstrations, religious gatherings, funerals, and dance and theater rehearsals.
– events where more than 50 people are planned must be notified in advance. This applies, for example, to public concerts in a park. There is an exception, for example, for venues with a catering license, religious gatherings, supermarkets, shops, libraries, cultural institutions and similar venues where there is visitor capacity.
In addition, the regions also take their own individual measures.
