Face coverings on public transit; Hairdressers, terraces to open soon: Reports

NL Times  

Public transportation will resume a normal schedule beginning on June 1, with passengers required to cover their nose and mouths, according to a report from NOS. Some close-contact professions, including hair stylists and beauty salons, will open on May 11, with some restrictions also eased for cafes, movie theaters, and museums, reported Nu.nl.

The decision to fully restart public transportation would be contingent on a continuation of fewer reported infections and a continued low level of new hospital admissions. However by gradually relaxing restrictions, transit operators feared capacity issues if people have to keep a distance of 1.5 meters from one another.
