Dutch lawmakers are holding a debate on hastily drawn up legislation underpinning the country’s coronavirus curfew after a judge ordered the measure scrapped earlier this week, AP reports.
The lower house of parliament is expected to support the legislation, which would then go to the Senate on Friday — the same day that government lawyers go to court to appeal the order banning the 9pm to 4:30am curfew.
The curfew, which sparked rioting last month but is very broadly supported and followed, remains in force pending the outcome of that appeal.
