Professional football in the Netherlands may have to be prosecuted without an audience. Sources report this to RTL Nieuws. Prime Minister Mark Rutte will announce new measures during the press conference tonight.
The government is doing this in response to the rising corona figures in the Netherlands. “We now have to take measures to avoid causing problems for ICs,” warned Diederik Gommers, chairman of the Dutch Intensive Care Association. He saw the number of corona patients on the IC rise by 15 to 142. ” continues, there will be between 400 and 700 corona patients in intensive care in a few weeks.
In recent weeks there has been a lot to do for the public during football matches. For example, Feyenoord fans were too close to each other in the home match against FC Twente and it seemed as if there was nothing wrong when Willem II played in the Europa League against Rangers FC. Last weekend the rules seemed to be well enforced everywhere, but now the national figures are throwing a spanner in the works.
