According to the municipality of Rotterdam, the extraordinary investigators received positive reactions from both shoppers and entrepreneurs.
Since 5 August, the mask has been mandatory in parts of the city center, shopping centers Zuidplein and Alexandrium and the markets at Binnenrotte, Grote Visserijstraat and Afrikaanderplein. Since Sunday, the municipality has been issuing fines to people who do not wear a mask there. The amount is 95 euros.
In addition to the issued fines, there were more people who did not wear a mouth mask on Sunday. They later put them on or left the area where wearing a mouth mask is mandatory.
The mouth caps duty in Rotterdam is a trial that will end at the end of next week. Whether the experiment will be extended should be announced in the coming days.
