The Netherlands will go into a three-week partial lockdown, the caretaker Prime Minister announced on Friday evening.
“Tonight we have a very unpleasant message with very unpleasant and far-reaching decisions,” Mark Rutte said in a televised address.
The lockdown, which begins on Saturday night, will see bars, restaurants and supermarkets close at 20:00 and non-essential stores shut their doors at 18:00. Professional sports will be played in empty stadiums and people are being urged to work from home as much as possible.
