New easing as of May 19 as infections and withdrawals continue to decline

Hugo de Jonge and Mark Rutte gave another press conference today. In this press conference, easing is announced, which should take effect on Wednesday, May 19. However, these relaxations are subject to change. Only if corona infections and hospitalizations continue to decline will the easing continue. The cabinet can still step on the emergency brake next Monday.

The intention is to open the outdoor terraces longer from Wednesday 19 May. The terraces may be open from 06:00 to 20:00. This also applies to sports canteens. Sex workers are allowed to roll up their sleeves again. Adults over the age of 27 are also allowed to exercise outside in a group. The group size will go to 30. All gyms, swimming pools, open-air theaters, museums, monuments, music and dance schools may reopen. Amusement parks may also reopen their doors. Everything outside is allowed, but what inside is not. This means that, for example, you are allowed in the outdoor attractions in amusement parks, but not in attractions that are located indoors.
