“People with a positive test result will be placed in an isolation at the hotel in Schiphole or next to him,” the authorities noted. A number of passengers presumably revealed a new strain of coronavirus “Omicron”.
Earlier in the Netherlands introduced Lokdaun due to coronavirus. As the Acting Prime Minister of the country, Mark Rutte, is noted, now the pressure on the health care system is again “extremely large” due to the growth of the number of cases.
He clarified that Lokdaun was introduced for three weeks, from November 13 to December 4. On December 3, a government meeting will be held on which the decision will be made whether it is worth it.
