Mayor of The Hague: wanting to do everything | Inland

The cabinet called on people to wear face masks in the shops in the three major cities. But according to Halsema, those three regions and Brabant-Southeast want to go one step further by also having people wear face masks in all public indoor spaces. “We now also say: do it in the other rooms too,” says Van Zanen.

“We see the numbers rising, we have let it go a bit. And the consequences are pretty dire. If the figures in the region of The Hague double in one week, you can find out what that means, ”said the mayor of The Hague. He points out that there are different opinions about the usefulness of mouth masks. “But we have now reached the stage where we want to do everything we can to prevent me from being here again in three weeks and having to say: we are back in the intelligent lockdown of March.”

The Municipality of Rotterdam has not yet responded. A spokeswoman said that more information may be released on Tuesday morning. In the morning, Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb will speak to local broadcaster RTV Rijnmond about the new corona measures.
