Schools should remain open for the time being. However, must Students aged ten and over wear a mask when they are not seated. The 1.5 meter distance rule is being extended to cinemas, theaters and restaurants. This means that fewer visitors are allowed in at the same time. The mask requirement will apply there again.
A real turnaround must be achieved, said Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Friday when the new rules were announced. As a justification, the government also pointed out that the situation in the hospitals had worsened.
