The cabinet is working on a far-reaching package with much stricter corona measures. They choose a very tough scenario, sources report to the political editorial staff of RTL Nieuws. Most likely, all non-essential shops and transit locations, such as museums and zoos, will need to be closed.
Tomorrow there will be a ministerial committee first and then an additional cabinet. A press conference is expected in the evening. Closure is also being considered for education. It is still uncertain whether primary education will also be locked. For example, education in secondary schools can be done completely online, except for exam classes. This is more difficult for primary schools. The extra strict measures will then apply in the last weeks of December and also at the beginning of January, it is expected. Very worrying figures The reason for the significant tightening is the presentation by RIVM director Jaap van Dissel today in the Catshuis. The latest corona data on infections and ICU admissions is very worrying. During the lockdown in the first corona wave, the contact professions, such as hairdressers, were also closed. The cabinet will also decide on this tomorrow. See also: ‘If it is necessary, it is necessary’
