The Netherlands may face ‘lockdown-type measures’ to curb rising Covid cases: NOS

Dutch News  

Government advisors are recommending ‘lockdown type measures’ to combat the rise in coronavirus infections for a two week period, sources close to the Outbreak Management Team have told broadcaster NOS. The seriousness of the situation – new infections are reaching record levels – makes such measures unavoidable, the sources say. Ministers are meeting to discuss the proposals on Thursday morning, ahead of Friday’s press conference with caretaker prime minister Mark Rutte and health minister Hugo de Jonge. Should ministers decide against the mini lockdown, other measures, such as the return of social distancing, should be brought back, the OMT sources said.
