Halsema fears that closing clubs at midnight demotivates young people to take vaccination Inland

“Young people in particular, whose vaccination coverage is low, should be tempted in all sorts of ways to get the shot. Continued closure of clubs and night businesses may reduce motivation,” Halsema said via a spokesperson.

She also says that she is afraid that the measure could affect the credibility of the corona evidence, which is needed from September 25 to gain access to the catering industry, among other things. “Why should the system of only letting in vaccinated or tested people work at 11:30 PM but not at 00:30?”

The Amsterdam mayor asks the cabinet to reconsider the measure. “The desire of young people to finally start their social life again must be taken seriously. Moreover, the night catering industry has been paying a very high price for the corona crisis for a long time.”
