Teststraat Breda destroyed and employees scolded: ‘Too sad for words’ | Inland

Mayor Paul Depla said this on Twitter. “Aggression against people who are committed to our health. Unfortunately also in Breda. GGD test street defaced and signs destroyed. And people scolded and intimidated by people who think corona is a fairytale. Too sad for words. Show respect for our people in health care / GGD ”, says Depla.

The GGD West-Brabant has announced that the police have been called in. “Unfortunately our test street in Breda is the target of destruction. In addition, a number of people are a nuisance. We apologize for any delay or inconvenience. ”

Throughout the country, healthcare workers are regularly the target of ‘corona aggression’. They are spit on, kicked, belittled and thrown at their heads for every conceivable disease. For this reason, HMC hospital in The Hague has been hiring extra security guards since the beginning of October.

Nurse Arjan van den Broek (40), who works at the Amphia Hospital in Breda, also sees less and less tolerance for corona measures among visitors, he previously told De Telegraaf. “It is mainly swearing, middle fingers, sometimes threats. There is also sometimes a tap against the window of the counter. Purely out of frustration. ”
