Coronavirus in the Netherlands: what you need to know (May 29)

Dutch News  

Fewer people are testing postive for coronavirus and more people are being vaccinated so that means switching from a ‘shut unless’ to an ‘open unless’ strategy, prime minister Mark Rutte told reporters on Friday evening. Casinos and other indoor amusements like laser gaming may reopen, with a maximum number of visitors of one person per 10 square metres or up to 50 people. Saunas and spas They may also reopen with a maximum of one person per 10 square metres or up to 50 people, again with reservations, registration and a health check. Sports and fitness Adults may once again take part in sports in groups of up to 50 people without having to keep 1.5 metres apart, if the sport in question requires people to be closer. This means restaurants, sports venues and theatres can admit more people than the regulation 50 if they only admit people who have a negative coronavirus test – as long as social distancing is observed.
