While it may feel as though the end is in sight with the arrival of the first doses of the Moderna vaccine scheduled for Monday, news of a three-week lockdown extension shows the Netherlands has a long way to go before it can return to normal.
Dutch lockdown to be extended by three weeks
Last week, sources in The Hague reported to NOS that the current hard lockdown was likely to be extended by (at least) two weeks. But following a meeting on Sunday between Prime Minister Mark Rutte, his cabinet ministers, and director of infectious disease control at the National Institute for Public Health and Environment (RIVM), Jaap van Dissel, it looks as though the lockdown will be extended by three weeks.
