AMSTERDAM – The Dutch government is contemplating restricting to and from the country’s largest cities, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague, as a component of a series of measures aimed at countering a wave of coronavirus infections, US reported on Monday.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte said Friday that he is contemplating new “regional” measures as the country’s COVID-19 epidemic increased from low grades last August to more than 2500 cases per day, more than at the peak of the first wave in April. Rutte rejected the concept of blocking for the time being or making the mask mandatory.
