LIVE | Fine for Utrecht restaurant after warning and contamination Inland

The Utrecht restaurant Beers & Barrels on the Veilinghaven was fined on Thursday evening because there were too many people and the 1.5 meter rule was not observed. That has been announced by the municipality. In addition, after a party last week, infections have been detected.

The case had been warned before that visitors did not follow the distance measure. In addition, a birthday was celebrated in the building last week, after which a number of invitees were diagnosed this week with corona infection. A source and contact investigation is now underway. That is also the reason why the municipality calls the case by name and shame, says a municipality spokeswoman.

Acting Mayor Peter den Oudsten of Utrecht also wants to impose a penalty for each subsequent violation. In an initial response, the restaurant management disputes the information from the municipality and states that the situation is different. She still comes with an explanation.

Entrepreneurs are themselves responsible for monitoring compliance with the measures. Last week, the municipality informed a letter to the council that it has recently been observed that some catering businesses fail to observe the 1.5-meter rule. That is why there is active enforcement of compliance with the emergency ordinance at risk locations such as the catering industry.
