Bus companies can cheer cautiously because the coaches can fill up again and taxis can normally offer their services again. The Cabinet ruling 'There is no distinction between economy and public healthseems to have been put aside for good. During the latter press conference for the summer, corona measures were drastically relaxed. Almost all sectors have meanwhile been visited by the branch organizations or by demonstrating on the Malieveld to demand relaxation. We are almost back at the end and train, tram, bus and taxi can be used again, also for non essential trips.
'The figures are so good precisely because we have all done so well in recent months. Today's decisions require even more discipline and responsibility from everyone, 'said Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
avoid crowds and travel outside rush hour as much as possible
Face masks remain mandatory in public transport, but the number of seats is as usual. Standing up during transport is not allowed, the official pitches in trams, for example, are excluded. The contagion risk is expected to increase only slightly with these relaxations. Students and pupils are allowed to travel during rush hour again, but agreements will be made about lesson times.
The NS previously announced that the night network and the last missing trains will also run from Monday, June 29. This will resume the full timetable. Working at home as much as possible remains in force and advice is also given to avoid rush hour and crowds in public transport.
after July 1 back in the car together
From 1 July, there will no longer be a limit on the number of people allowed to drive a car together. As long as people can keep a distance of one and a half meters, no maximum number of visitors for meetings will apply from 1 July. This makes events such as fairs and street fairs possible on 1 July. In practice, major events for which a permit is required will only take place again from mid-August.
There is an exception for nightclubs and discotheques because they will remain closed for the time being. In September, the Cabinet will consider this further.
