Netherlands to reimpose some Covid-19 restrictions

The European country of Netherlands has decided to reimpose certain Covid-19 restrictions, in order to address the threat posed by the fresh rise in the number of Covid-19 cases in that part of the world.

The newly imposed restrictions mean many residents in the Netherlands will, for the first time, be forced to wear a face mask in shops.

It is believed that the latest measures will help the country to overcome a second coronavirus wave.

The Netherlands is one of the few countries in the continent of Europe which is not a fan of stricter restrictions.

At present, the daily infection average rate stands at 3,000 cases per day.

The total population of the country is around 17 million. It indicates that the status is highly problematic and depressing.

While speaking to media personals, Netherlands Health Minister Hugo de Jong said they were doing their best but the virus was doing better.

In a press conference, Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte explained that the situation in the country’s three largest cities – Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague – had become serious and required urgent action.
