The Netherlands is set to reimpose curbs on public life after a steep rise in Covid-19 cases

The Netherlands is set to reimpose curbs on public life, despite a high vaccination rate, after a steep rise in coronavirus cases raised concerns that hospitals could become overwhelmed.

Households would be advised against hosting more than four visitors, and employees would be encouraged to work from home as much as possible. The outgoing government is expected to formally announce the measures on Friday evening, according to the spokesman, but some aspects might take longer to implement.

The Netherlands’ decision comes after the country recorded over 16,000 new cases Thursday, a record number and a steep increase from recent months, when daily cases plateaued at around 2,000. Over 73% of the Netherlands’ 17 million inhabitants have been fully vaccinated, according to the Our World In Data website.
