08.30 – Efteling fears closure
Efteling is preparing behind the scenes for tonight’s press conference. It may be decided that the amusement parks should also close their doors. “It is all still very vague. We hope of course to be able to remain open”, says a spokesman. “Of course we understand that safety comes first, if we had to close. For the rest we really have to wait for the press conference and then the decision of the security region.”
07.00 – Cuijk pub crawl with carnivals is canceled
Also the traditional Kuukse elf-pub tour will not take place during carnival next year. The event in Cuijk normally attracts about 16,000 visitors. It was supposed to take place on Tuesday, February 16, 2021. “Based on current emergency regulations and the development of the virus, it is impossible to have a party like this,” said Lars Arts, Commission President Kuukse elf-pub tour. “And suppose more is possible in February than now, it is still not feasible for us to organize.”
06.00 – Cabinet decides on additional corona measures
The cabinet will decide on Tuesday which additional measures it will take to reduce the number of new corona virus infections more quickly. The ministers most involved in the crisis meet for this purpose in the afternoon. After that, Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Minister of Health Hugo de Jonge will announce the tightening during a press conference at 7 pm.
It was revealed on Monday that it is very likely that measures are to limit the group size, such as the temporary closure of museums, theaters and cinemas, but also the limitation of the maximum group size outside from four to two people. Rutte and De Jonge will probably also discuss the Christmas holidays, perhaps they will come up with negative travel advice. And it is also expected that they will discuss the duration of the catering closure.
05.45 – GGD now also measures in sewers whether the virus is roaming around
Since today, the cabinet has an important indicator for the corona virus. In addition to the test results of the GGDs and patient numbers in hospitals, the sewers now also show how the virus spreads, Trouw writes.
05.00 – Ministry is still keeping reports from the OMT secret
The internal discussions and meeting reports of the cabinet’s chief corona advisor, the Outbreak Management Team (OMT), remain secret. Although the OMT takes a critical look at its own transparency and the interconnectedness with the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, minutes are not made public, the AD writes.
With an appeal to the Government Information Act (Wob), this newspaper, like other media, requested the minutes and reports of the OMT meetings. But the Ministry of Health refuses to disclose those documents.
03.30 – Probably the number of new corona cases will drop slightly
In the past seven days, probably about the same number of corona cases have been diagnosed as in the previous week, and probably even slightly less. It would be the first drop in two months. The exact figure comes on Tuesday from the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). It will then also be known how many deaths and hospitalizations have been reported in the past week, and whether the so-called reproduction number has changed. That number indicates how quickly the virus is spreading.
03.30 – Chamber is considering additional corona support for companies
On Tuesday, the House of Representatives will consider a new aid package of half a billion euros for industries that are hard hit by the tightened corona measures. Ministers Wouter Koolmees of Social Affairs, Eric Wiebes of Economic Affairs and Wopke Hoekstra of Finance will defend the plans.
