ANNOUNCEMENTS••Edited
Two of the three 3FM DJs who have been locked up in the Glass House in Amersfoort since Sunday have contracted a corona infection. Both Rob Janssen and Sophie Hijlkema tested positive tonight, reports the public radio broadcaster which is currently working on the Serious Request action week.
Janssen and Hijlkema had a meeting with a GP tonight and are feeling fit enough to continue the charity campaign. They therefore remain in the Glass House, together with DJ Barend van Deelen, who is not infected.
Rob Janssen tells live radio that he and Sophie Hijlkema have crown:
Two of the three 3FM DJs in the Glass House are crowned
The three DJs had already been checked for their health due to the action. This will now happen more often, reports the channel. Employees working behind the scenes during the campaign will be tested on a regular basis. 3FM also takes additional hygiene measures.
Because the three are locked behind glass in the Glass House, visitors can still tour the grounds where the action takes place. The guests who will accompany the DJs at home during Serious Request will also pass by. They just make their conversation from outside the house. The scheduled performances will also take place, but the artists will not perform in the Glass House itself, as was actually planned.
The forgotten child
Rob Janssen, Sophie Hijlkema and Barend van Deelen have been in the Glass House in Amersfoort since Sunday afternoon. With Serious Request they try to raise as much money as possible for the Het Forgotten Child foundation for one week, for example by sending requests in exchange for a donation. For the first time since 2018, DJs don’t eat during the action and live on juice all week, as has been the case since 3FM’s Action Week began.
