Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte says the government has decided to re-impose measures, including the wearing of face masks, aimed at slowing the latest spike in Covid-19 infections, Reuters reports.
The use of a "corona pass", showing proof of a Covid-19 vaccination or recent negative coronavirus test, would be broadened as of November 6 to public places including museums, gyms and outdoor terraces, Rutte said.
In a televised news conference, Rutte called on all Dutch, vaccinated and unvaccinated, to stick to basic hygiene rules and to stay at home if they had symptoms of a possible infection.
