Mayor Schuiling: ‘I am not waiting for drastic measures’

The pubs have to close at midnight and a maximum of fifty people are welcome at weddings.

‘Everyone knows that list, but as far as I am concerned, we are not heading for that. But if the cabinet announces these measures, then we will have to do something with them, ‘says Schuiling, with some reluctance.

He confirms that Groningen will be labeled ‘worrisome’ in the short term.

The Hague decides

The chairman of the Security Region does not state whether he will object if the Western measures are nevertheless introduced in our province. The cabinet is leading, but Schuiling is a discussion partner.

‘In your own hands’

‘The most important thing is that we really have it in our own hands to reduce the number of infections. If we don’t do that together, we run the risk of drastic measures being taken. To be honest, I don’t want that, just like most Groningen residents, ‘says an outspoken Schuiling.

Waiting for further details

At the moment, the chairman of the Security Region cannot say anything about the further consequences that the new status of our province will entail.

‘We are already doing a lot here in our Safety Region. Also things that people already do in the Randstad. Such as conversations with young people, writing letters to them, checks and we also hand out fines. All those things have already been set in motion. ‘
