The end of the year is approaching, so the big question is: how do the Christmas days of 96 out for residents? During Tuesday’s press conference 17 December gave

outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte Answer to this:

“Extension of the evening lockdown is inevitable.”

We asked Hagenaars on Instagram what they think about the measures. The reactions were quite divided. Followers reacted curtly with words like “cunt”, “fine”, “nonsense” and everything in between. People like to get together around Christmas. Now we will have to put our teeth back together and make the best of it, within the possibilities.

“The infection rates and hospital admissions are still high”, the said. Prime Minister during the press conference. “The omikron variant also creates uncertainty.” The outgoing cabinet has therefore decided to extend the evening lockdown until Friday 14 January and primary schools to close a week earlier. The Christmas holidays will therefore start on Monday next week 17 Dec.

Measures and advice during the holidays

At home you can receive a maximum of four guests, so that will be a small Christmas dinner. A festive dinner in your favorite restaurant in the evening? That is also not possible during the holidays; the catering industry remains after 00.00 hours closed. View all corona measures that apply during the holidays below:

  • Primary schools close on Mondays 17 December and get a week longer Christmas vacation until January 9.
