For Mayor Hubert Bruls van Nijmegen, who is also chairman of the Security Council of Mayors, it is not yet obvious that the strict lockdown will be extended on Friday. According to him, the Outbreak Management Team must come up with a convincing story about the effect. “That you can really indicate: if we don’t continue this lockdown, the hospitals will be completely flat within one or two weeks. Because otherwise I say: give more air to entrepreneurs, actually to everyone in society,” says Bruls in The Gelderlander.
Bruls calls the lockdown severe for entrepreneurs. “Especially the contrast at the border, yes, that is almost shocking. Especially when I read that entrepreneurs in Kleve (just across the border near Nijmegen) are happy because the Christmas has come completely well because of Dutch skills. You will be a shopkeeper. But there are various sectors that have been trapped for some time, they have it even harder.”
