The Netherlands
Lockdown
The government wants to open up society in 3 months. In order for everything to be possible again this summer, potentially with some conditions. And as a
precaution, everyone also adheres to the basic rules against the spread of corona. There are 6 steps.
The 1st step in the opening plan took effect on 28 April 2021, on which day, for example, outdoor cafes and shops reopened and the curfew was abolished.
The second step would not be taken until 11 May at the earliest. But the government decided on 3 May that this was still too early. The second step will now not be
taken until 18 May at the earliest. The government will decide on Tuesday, 11 May whether this is possible. After taking the 2nd step, people can, for example, play
sports indoors again and music schools will open again, and, for example, zoos can open under certain conditions.

inhabitants, can local authorities decide to reopen these shops under certain conditions. Conversely, if infection rates rise too high, local authorities can take
additional measures.
