According to RIVM, the current measures are less effective than previously thought. The number of corona infections has fallen by about five percent in the latest weekly figures, but that statistic does not give reason to cheer.

We stay at home less

The number of infections in the Netherlands is still too high, says Timen. “That has to do with behavior. We see that people stay at home less than we thought. They go to work more often and go outside more often than we thought. That is why the measures are a lot less effective than in the spring.”

At the end of September, the cabinet issued the urgent advice to work from home as much as possible, but that advice is far less followed than during the first lockdown.

Infections in the workplace

According to the RIVM, this has a major effect on the infection figures. “Most infections take place at home or with family and friends. But in a good third place are clusters in the workplace.”

Tonight at 7 p.m. the cabinet will come up with new measures. This press conference can be followed live via our site and on RTL 4.
