LIVE | Virologist and OMT member: don’t relax too soon | Abroad

Even after the partial lockdown has ended in mid-December, the Netherlands will have to take into account tougher corona measures than applied this summer. That says virologist from the Amsterdam UMC and OMT member Menno de Jong at AT5.

“We have to look very carefully at what can and cannot be done and not just let go of everything, as in the summer. We shouldn’t go from sprint to sprint. We have to take into account that it is a marathon. We will have to continue to apply certain measures, regardless of the basic measures. ” The virologist thinks that, among other things, working from home will remain necessary for a long time to reduce mobility.

“In retrospect, I think there was too much relaxation. Then you see how fast it can go, even in summer, when the conditions are not favorable for the virus. That could go faster in the winter. “

Large Christmas parties, hiring rooms and ushering in 2021 together will not be possible this year, says the OMT member.
