‘The infections are still increasing and more and more people end up in hospital. It is therefore estimated that the measures that currently apply will be extended and even tightened. Although this is not yet definitive, as mayor I do not think it is justified to allow the Saint Nicholas tours to continue this year. At the moment, our health and that of our community is at the top of the list, as unpleasant as that may be, ‘the mayor writes.
In Amsterdam, the traditional arrival of Sinterklaas on the Zeeburgereiland is also canceled. In its place there will be one television event at a secret location without an audience. It will be broadcast on AT5 on November 15.
Entries have also been canceled in many other municipalities. From Groningen, Heerenveen and Zwolle to Hengelo and Deventer, the traditional entries are canceled due to corona. Earlier it was announced that entries are not allowed in almost all of Limburg.
