You are allowed to roll over in the Python, but a round in the Dream Flight is not. The easing that will take effect today is mainly about ‘outside’, where the risk of contamination is many times smaller than inside.
‘Outside more possible and indoor sports locations open’, that is how the cabinet describes this next step of the opening plan.
This is allowed again from today:
- Everyone older than 27 is also allowed to play outside in teams of up to 30, at a distance of 1.5 meters, no matches or public
- Gyms, gyms and indoor swimming pools will open, with a maximum of 30 people per space, but sports must be done alone or in pairs. Reservations required, no competition or public
- Open air theaters, museums and monuments open again, but for a maximum of 30 people and 1.5 meters apart. Reservation compulsory, for two people or a household
- Music and dance lessons are allowed again, but with 2 people within 1.5 meters, maximum 30 per room
- Terraces open more widely, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., and now the terraces of the sports canteens can also participate
- Attraction, nature and animal parks open, as well as mini golf and climbing forests. Reservations for two people or a household (children up to and including 12 are not included). The indoor attractions or areas will remain closed, but toilets will be open
- You can rent boats, canoes and bicycles again
- All contact professions allowed again

Libraries will follow tomorrow
From tomorrow, Thursday, the libraries may also reopen. These were not actually in the cabinet’s plan, but were added to it at the insistence of the House of Representatives.
With all these relaxations, the time has also come to adjust the travel advice for public transport. For a long time, the request was to only travel by train, bus, tram or metro if this is ‘necessary’. Today that changed to: ‘non-essential travel allowed. Travel in quiet moments’. NS leaves from May more trains are running in steps.
Why is it possible now?
Each step in the opening plan will only continue if the number of new IC and hospital admissions continues to decline. On Monday, outgoing minister De Jonge announced that the figures were good enough to take step 2 and that he did not have to pull the ’emergency brake’ to stop the announced relaxation. There had to be a decrease of about 20 percent from the peak at the end of April.
