The experts also propose to close the catering industry at 8 p.m., now it is 11 p.m. A closure at 8 p.m. would in any case be a lot smoother than in the Netherlands: cafes and restaurants (and non-essential shops) in our northern neighbors have to close at 5 p.m. According to our latest information, it is anything but certain that the closure at 8 p.m. will actually go through.
And the despised word “bubble” is also mentioned in the experts’ report. For example, they propose organizing private meetings with up to five people in the coming weeks, as a rule of thumb, not as a real duty. The politicians are told that they are anything but warm to intervene in people’s private lives again, especially with the end of the year celebrations. It may therefore remain a recommendation, rather than an obligation.
