The new national measures apply from today, Wednesday 14 October at 22:00. Face masks now apply not only in public transport, but also in public indoor spaces. This is to slow down the spread of corona in the Netherlands.
There has been much speculation about the protection of masks against corona, but before yesterday, it has only been advised to face masks in public transport.
In the past few days, the Netherlands is facing "zeer ernstig'' (very serious) situation in terms of Covid19. That means over 250 in every 100k people are tested positive, source retrieved from de Volkskrant analysis. With a population of around 17000k, we are one of the most alarming countries in the world now.
As a result, the cabinet updated new measures on the evening of 13th Oct, in which face masks are finally mandatory in all indoor public areas as well as public transports. Face masks are also required in schools. This is to slow down the spread of corona in the Netherlands.
To protect ourselves and other people, Colorfone strongly advice face masks in every place outside from home.
