Today, on Friday 30 July, some corona measures in our country will change again. This is phase three in the so-called summer plan. This relaxation came about on two conditions. This was met, so the relaxation came into effect today.
As of today, new corona measures will come into effect in our country. These are mainly related to events, but also shops, weddings and youth camps.
Requirements
It summer plan consists of different phases, whereby those phases are related to the corona figures in our country. For the third phase, more than 70 percent of adults in our country had to have received at least one dose of the vaccine and fewer than 500 corona patients had to be in intensive care units.
Currently, 7,963,756 adults have received at least one shot, which accounts for 83.3 percent of adults. Of these, 70.1 percent have already been fully vaccinated. With 93 corona patients in the intensive care unit, the second condition is also met.
Phase 3 summer plan
Phase three of the summer plan means that events will again allow 3,000 visitors to be present indoors and 5,000 outdoors. Mouth mask and social distancing remain mandatory. Also part of this phase are the easing for mass events. From August 13, mass events with a maximum of 75,000 visitors will be possible again. In addition, visitors must have a Covid Safe Ticket and can demonstrate that they have been fully vaccinated, have taken a negative corona test less than 48 hours ago or have recently been infected with the virus and have recovered. Pukkelpop threw in the towel last week because these measures were too difficult to organize a normal festival.
In addition, the maximum number of customers in shops and shopping centers will no longer be required, so it is no longer necessary to check how many people are present in the store at the entrance. Trade fairs are also allowed to continue again. At parties and receptions, including weddings, 250 guests are welcome again, the same measures apply as in the catering industry. Finally, youth activities and camps with overnight stays are allowed to continue again with a maximum of 200 people. Preliminary testing is strongly recommended.
The fourth phase of the summer plan will come into effect on 1 September. The condition for that relaxation was that 70 percent of adults were fully vaccinated and that is already the case.
