Curfew on the cards for this weekend, no flights from UK or South Africa

Dutch News  

The Netherlands aims to bring in a curfew this weekend which will run from 8.30 pm to 4.30 am, but it is up to parliament to decide if it should go ahead, prime minister Mark Rutte told a press conference on Wednesday afternoon. Given it will take a couple of days to organise things, the curfew will not come into effect until Saturday or Sunday, if parliament votes in favour during Thursday’s debate, Rutte said. ‘I would call on all the parties to recognise that we are now at a crucial moment for our safety and public health,’ the prime minister said. ‘All we can do is say to the Netherlands and to parliament, that this is the advice we have and that we are convinced there is no alternative.’ Curfew The curfew, as currently envisaged, means no-one may be on the streets at night unless they are carrying out essential care duties or have a declaration from their employer.
