A large part of the cabinet will meet again on Sunday afternoon in the Catshuis about the corona crisis. According to insiders, there is now talk about the situation after mid-December and whether or not the ‘partial lockdown’, which has been in effect since October 13, should be tightened up.
It is an informal meeting, formal decisions will only be taken on Tuesday. Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Corona Minister Hugo de Jonge are expected to give another press conference on Tuesday evening, in which they may announce new rules.
Sources expect that this will probably not involve drastic measures. There will probably also be no regional measures. This can change if the figures are disappointing. Last Thursday and Friday they rose again, Saturday and Sunday they fell again.
Rutte said on Friday during his weekly press conference that he also wanted to offer more insight into the holidays. He does not expect to be able to say anything about it in terms of content, but rather about how the decision-making will be made. It is also certain that the corona rules that were announced two weeks ago, such as the closing of theaters and museums, will automatically expire next Wednesday.
