The biggest change is the disappearance of the one and a half meters and the introduction of the corona proof. According to the cabinet, this will be used ‘in those locations where it will become busier due to the release of the mandatory one and a half meters’.

Work advice adjusted
The advice was to work from home as much as possible. This is now being adjusted to ‘work at home if possible and at the office if necessary’.
face masks
At the airport, in planes, trains, buses, trams, metro, taxis, boats to the Wadden Islands and other commercial personal transport, wearing a mouth cap remains mandatory. Previously, there was also an obligation on platforms and stations, but this has now expired, said outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte in the latest press conference:

Education
Where previously a maximum group size of 75 was in force in MBO and higher education, that will expire as of today.
In secondary education, senior secondary vocational education and higher education, the obligation to wear masks outside the classrooms or lecture halls will no longer apply.
In childcare and primary education, it is no longer mandatory that the entire group or class is quarantined and tested if there is one infection.

To travel
We are also allowing more people from abroad to enter the Netherlands. Since last Wednesday, vaccinated travelers from the United States, the United Kingdom and other travelers from so-called ‘very high-risk areas’ no longer have to be quarantined.
Basic rules
So you can come closer than one and a half meters, although the cabinet urgently advises to keep your distance. The basic rules also remain in effect. Wash hands, do not shake hands, test in case of complaints and ventilate well.
And maybe we’ll be done with that by the end of the year.
