The second step in the opening plan will definitely take place, the national government announced this afternoon. Last week there was still talk of a possible pause button in case the hospital admissions would not decrease. With this so-called pause button, the second step of the opening plan could be postponed. Fortunately, hospital admissions have fallen and from Wednesday we are allowed to do a little more and we get a bit more freedom. From Wednesday we can go back to the zoo, amusement park, open-air museum and the gym. The terraces also open longer, now they are only open in the afternoon. From Wednesday we can also enjoy a cup of coffee with a nice piece of cake on the terrace in the morning and a nice evening meal on the terrace is also possible from Wednesday.
The libraries are also allowed to open from Wednesday, but a reservation and a health check is required. All contact professions were allowed before, but sex workers were not, they can only reopen from Wednesday. Step 3 of the opening plan will be taken on June 9 at the earliest, or step 3 will continue on June 1. The National government reports that seven new test providers are preparing to enable access testing nationwide. As soon as the bill for access testing has been put into effect, it can start. This week a number of new pilots with sports competitions and cultural festivals are being organized, here the test providers can gain practical experience.
