OMT: mouth caps in public transport make sense, quarantine must stay

Due to the recent relaxation of the corona measures, the number of infections has increased again recently. However, the high number of infections has not yet led to large crowds in hospitals.


According to the OMT, wearing a face mask in public transport with a high infection rate is nevertheless useful, especially to protect the vulnerable and allow them to travel safely. The group is often forced to travel by train or bus, for example because they do not have a car.

Whether wearing a mouth cap should really remain mandatory, the OMT leaves to the cabinet.

No more 1G

The cabinet also asked the Outbreak Management Team whether the 1G policy at large indoor events can be stopped. According to the OMT, this is possible. If that advice is followed, it is no longer necessary to test negative before visiting such an event.


Working from home, quarantine and testing

Workers are currently advised to work from home half of the time and the other half at the office. The Outbreak Management Team advises not to change this.

This also applies to the current isolation and quarantine advice. The group of experts also finds it no longer necessary for students to take a preventive self-test twice a week.

The cabinet will announce tomorrow what will happen with the corona rules currently in force.
