In view of the dramatic increase in the number of infections, the Netherlands has imposed the toughest blockade to date on its country. The strict measures will take effect from midnight and should last until January 19, Prime Minister Mark Rutte (53) announced in a televised speech on Monday night. “The Netherlands will be isolated for five weeks,” he says. For the first time since the outbreak of the corona pandemic, stores, except for daily necessities, must close.

The country is also reacting to the harsh closure of neighboring Germany. Many municipalities feared that after the strict measures in their country, the Germans could go Christmas shopping on the other side of the border from Wednesday.
