Amsterdam: The Dutch government is expected to imitate the restrictions on nightclubs, music festivals, and restaurants on Friday in response to a surge in Covid-19 infection among young adults, local media reported.
The Netherlands raised most of the locking steps on June 26, because cases fell and about two-thirds of the population had received at least one shot vaccination.
However, with bars, restaurants, and nightclubs open again, new cases have increased at the fastest speed in a few months, with more than 7,000 cases reported 24 hours to Friday morning.
That’s compared with less than 1,000 weeks before.
The total number of new infections in the past week jumped to 22,000, almost five times more than a week before.
So far, however, a new surge in infection has not caused an increase in Covid-19 patients in hospitals.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte is expected to announce a decision at a press conference at 1800 GMT Friday, the news agency reported.
This country is not expected to return to a widespread locking but is widely expected to take targets targeted to limit the spread of infections among adolescents and young adults.
RTL announcer said the cafe and bar will be ordered to close at midnight, and outdoor events will be limited to a maximum of 1,000 visitors, and no more than 500 people are allowed to attend indoor meetings.
About three quarters of new cases in the Netherlands occurred among young people and more than half of the more contagious Delta variants, Dutch Minister Hugo de Jonge said this week.
