Netherlands: The Dutch government has said it will ease its Covid-19 restrictions, among Europe’s toughest, from Wednesday.
Dutch hospitality settings, including bars, restaurants and museums, have been shut since 18 December in a bid to curb the spread of the Omicron variant.
But despite the restrictions, Covid-19 cases have continued to increase, with some 60,000 now recorded per day.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte told a news conference that the country was “taking a risk” in easing the restrictions.
