COVID-19 (Coronovirus)
The virus has officially been labelled a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). To contain the coronavirus in the Netherlands the Dutch Government has taken additional measures. What does this mean:
The new measures are to be applied nationwide. General:
Work from home, unless this is really not possible.
All establishments that serve food and drinks must close. Take-away will still be possible.
All non-essential shops and garden centres will be closed. Grocery stores and pharmacists may stay open.
Both primary and secondary schools will be closed and switch to online education. Nurseries will also be closed.
All locations with a continuous flow of people, such as cinemas, museums, theatres, amusement parks and zoos, will be closed.
Contact professions, such as hairdressers and beauty studios have to close their doors.
Medical contact professions such as dentists and physiotherapists may stay open.
Fitness centers, swimming pools and saunas will be closed. Sports activities are only permitted outside, with a maximum of two people keeping a distance of 1.5 metres.
No alcohol or soft drugs will be sold or delivered and you may not drink alcohol, use soft drugs or have them on your person in public spaces between 08.00 pm and 07.00 am.
Setting off fireworks is prohibited in the period leading up to New Year and on New Year’s Eve. The sale of fireworks to consumers is banned for this year. Also ministers are considering imposing a curfew at New Year’s Eve.

At home you may have no more than two visitors per day, not counting children under 13. With an exception for Christmas: on those days 3 people are allowed.
Outside homes, no more than 2 people or 1 household can go somewhere or do something together, not counting children under 13.

If you don’t have any symptoms, you can go and do some grocery shopping or walk your dog. If you keep an arm’s length away from others, the chance that others will infect you with COVID-19 or that you will infect others is small. If you have symptoms, get tested as soon as possible and stay at home.
Only use public transport if there is no alternative. Avoid rush hours and keep as far apart as possible. From June 1 wearing a non-medical face mask will be compulsory when travelling on public transport.
The coronavirus has a great impact on our lifes. Eating and drinking establishments are closed and even visiting others has been restricted. A lot of us are also not able to go to the office. In this blog you will find helpful tips and fun activities to do, while not being able to go out.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds to prevent passing on germs. Dry your hands. Together we can help stop the spread and stay healthy.
