The Hague: Dutch nightclubs they will throw open their doors 10 days from now despite government restrictions and rising infection rates.
The Netherlands last week lifted some of Europe’s toughest Covid restrictions, allowing bars, restaurants and museums to reopen.
But these venues must shut down at 10 pm — the time many nightclubs are opening.
“On Saturday, 12 February nightclubs are opening their doors in protest,” said the Nachtbelang nightclub umbrella organisation, which is associated with the Royal Dutch Hospitality Organisation.
“Not just for one night, but for every night,” it said in an announcement posted on Instagram.
“With this action, we want to show that we can reopen doors in a safe way,” he said.
