The exception for churches, synagogues and mosques causes a lot of commotion. On Friday, Rutte was asked in his weekly interview on Radio 1 about the reason behind this decision, but he had to fail to answer. “I really had no idea,” he admits a day later during the VVD meeting.
Rutte has now sorted it out: “It has to do with the constitution. Churches are not public spaces such as shops and government buildings. Therefore in churches is not enforced. “
The Prime Minister welcomes the fact that many administrators of churches and mosques are calling for people to wear a mouth mask. The national duty to mask masks starts on December 1 and lasts at least three months. There is a fine of 95 euros for not wearing a face mask in public indoor spaces.
