The GGD test locations in North Holland can hardly cope with the increase in the number of corona infections. Due to the crowds it is practically impossible to make a test appointment, reports Het Parool.
In the entire province of North Holland, it is not possible to make an appointment online for a corona test at the GGD on Thursday. In Amsterdam, the test streets seem completely booked and people without a car have to move to Zoetermeer.

D66 MP Jan Paternotte states on the basis of a survey on Twitter that there are also problems with making test agreements elsewhere in the country. As a result, the authorities risk losing sight of the number of corona infections less than two weeks after the relaxation.
Answers to this question make it clear that GGD test streets throughout the Netherlands are full and many people cannot get a test. Means we may not have a complete picture of infections tomorrow.
