What's up
Should vaccinated people also have to quarantine in the Netherlands?
Members of the Labour Party (PvdA) and D66 have agreed that it would be unnecessary to expect someone who has been vaccinated to quarantine for at least five days. “Let's follow countries like Ireland, Greece, Denmark, Spain, the US and the UK,” says Jan Paternotte (D66). “They all already have some form of exception for people who have had an injection.”
But Health Minister Hugo de Jonge has said it is “perfectly logical,” arguing that he would like to know more about whether or not vaccinated people can spread the virus before making a final decision on the matter. “There will come a time when we medically establish that vaccinees play a smaller role in the spread, I hope. But we are not that far forward yet.” The Health Council of the Netherlands is expected to issue their advice on the matter by June 1.
