Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte announced today, Friday, a partial closure in the country for a period of three weeks, according to which bars and restaurants stop working early, while sporting events are held without an audience.
The Dutch broadcaster, NOS, said that the closure will take effect tomorrow evening, Saturday, in an attempt to stop an increase in cases of Covid-19, which hit a record yesterday, Thursday, and this is the first such measure in Western Europe since the summer.
Under the closure, the authorities will urge citizens to work from home as much as possible, and the masses will not be allowed to attend sporting events in the coming weeks, including football matches, while schools, theaters and cinemas will remain open.
New infections with the Corona virus increased rapidly in the country of 17.5 million people after the lifting of social distancing measures in late September, and reached a record level of about 16,300 cases on Thursday.
