There is a lot of resistance to a curfew, also from myself,” Rutte said. “Due to the great concern about the British variant, we have to look at what we can do extra. The extension of the lockdown was called for because the coronavirus infection numbers have not fallen fast enough, and out of concern of the B117 coronavirus mutation, a highly-contagious variant of the virus which caused a spike in infections in the United Kingdom late last year.

Rutte said he expected to receive updated advice on the subject of a curfew from the OMT this weekend, and the full Cabinet could discuss the issue next week. We are going to ask the OMT for urgent advice on what a curfew can bring us." “That is why there is a lot to be said for getting the maximum effect. He said that the Outbreak Management Team has said the curfew could have a favorable impact, but the Cabinet must also take into account the difficulty of the current lockdown situation for many people. “A curfew is a drastic measure that no one is hoping for,” Rutte said. Further, the ruling Dutch Cabinet will definitely consider the option of imposing a curfew in the Netherlands to make a deeper dent in the number of new coronavirus infections in the country, Prime Minister Mark Rutte said during a nationally televisies press conference on Tuesday night. The hard lockdown approach in the Netherlands since December 15 to combat the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus will continue until at least February 9.
