You cannot control the virus if people do not meet epidemiological standards in games, “said Mark Rutte.

Coronavirus – the second wave

Half a year after the spring outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the second wave of the pandemic has arrived. The radical increase in the number of infected is forcing more and more countries to reimpose restrictions, although the world economy has not even recovered from the effects of the spring outbreak. According to the posters, the second wave also reached Hungary. Follow our news!

According to Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, the fact that the Drukkers sing and cheer at soccer league matches does not help protect against the coronavirus epidemic.

Although there are a limited number of clashes in the Eredivisie, viewers have been able to revisit since the start of the season. But only if they follow epidemiological norms, for example, they don’t sing, they don’t shout. At least that’s the rule, and it was no surprise that it was not enforced in practice. At the championships, several people left their assigned chairs, and of course they were loud.

“It is a great nonsense, so we will not be able to control the virus. Stay still while you are sitting there. Watch the game, don’t shout. I think it can be solved.

Rutte told fans when asked what he thought of the Drukkers’ behavior.

The idea may seem very strange at first, but it is increasingly likely that the other option is to return to the closed gate. The idea of ​​fans wearing masks is also not unheard of in Hungary, at NB II Debrecen was the first to make this mandatory on paper.

In the Netherlands, the number of new infections surpassed 2,000 a day for the first time on Monday, bringing the peak to its fifth time in a week. Rutte announced regional restrictive measures three days earlier, so bars and restaurants, among others, must close early and staff limits have been introduced.

Currently, fans are admitted to stadiums by around a quarter of the maximum number of spectators, they can only enter there at a certain time, or they can leave the same way, avoiding more crowds. All of this means that some have to take their seats more than an hour before kickoff, while others can only leave the premises an hour after the blowout.
