MP’s want Covid access tests to return soon; No face mask demand planned
A parliamentary majority wants the Testing for Access system for festivals and events to be reinstated as soon as possible. The events sector needs perspective and the cabinet therefore has to clarify before August 13 how the test system can be resumed "safely and responsibly", the VVD, D66, and CDA said in a motion filed during a parliamentary debate on the increasing coronavirus infections. Their motion, which received broad support, called on the cabinet to consult with the events sector on responsibly reinstating the Testing for Access system, also drawing lessons from the Fieldlab events experiments earlier this year. She wanted to know from Health Minister Hugo de Jonge whether the tightened measures announced on Friday were enough to get the coronavirus infections under control, and whether the obligation to wear a face mask in some public spaces should not be re-introduced. De Jonge said that the cabinet is following the OMT advice, which mainly limits face mask use to care institutions and on public transport.
