Ton Heerts, chairman of the Safety Region of North and East Gelderland, has given an ultimatum to meat processing company Vion in Groenlo. He gives the company 48 hours to have 25 employees who did not appear at the test location and have therefore not yet been tested for the coronavirus, still be tested.
–
Heerts also wants the missing data of five employees to be available quickly, he reports. Because contact details are missing or incorrect, the GGD is unable to properly conduct a source and contact survey among the infected persons. Furthermore, Vion must show which employees work at other locations in the region.

On Sunday it was announced that 147 of the 657 employees in the Groenlo company were infected with the corona virus.

Some footballers in Seville, including former PSV player Luuk de Jong, have to take into account sanctions from both their club and the health authorities in Spain. Sports newspaper Marca, among others, found photos of a barbecue on Instagram with, in addition to De Jong, Ocampos, Mudo Vasquez and Ever Banega, whose wife had placed the photos on Saturday and later removed them.

The photos showed that more than ten people were having a nice barbecue. Meetings of this size are still banned in Spain severely affected by the coronavirus.
Shortly after the publications in the Spanish media, De Jong apologized via Instagram. “I want to apologize to anyone who may have been hurt by the incident. It won’t happen again. We want the league to resume, we want to play football again,” the striker wrote.

Johan Vlemmix is slowly preparing for the reopening of his two catering businesses. Although one is a disco, the cheerful entrepreneur thinks he can still open one of his latest inventions: a corona bumper. “It can be the solution for the catering industry,” Johan tells BuzzE. As far as he is concerned, everyone will soon be seated in the pub in a kind of swimming pool, in which a private table is built. This would always allow café visitors to keep a distance of one and a half meters.
–
Johan denies to BuzzE that he is trying to make a save from the corona crisis. “No, I just want to find a solution,” said Vlemmix. He will present his corona bumpers next Tuesday in Eindhoven.

If it is up to GGD director Ellis Jeurissen, anyone who even sniffs a bit will get tested for corona from 1 June. She says this in the television program KRAAK! from Omroep Brabant. Jeurissen is director of Public Health at the GGD Brabant South-East.

She hopes “test anxiety” doesn’t stop people from doing that. After all, a positive test means a quarantine of fourteen days for the patient and his or her entire family. “But you don’t want your conscience to have someone else get sick, do you?” “
