Corona and going out | Curfew is a thing of the past on the 28th of April 2021 | Wednesday, April 21, 2021

Another step has been taken for relaxation in the Netherlands. Despite the numbers that aren't going down and a slow paste of vaccinations, there have been a number of positive developments from the 28th of April.

Currently there is an opening plan for society

What can you expect while going out?

Well, we can write a long article about this, but the answer remains, unfortunately, a closed-door!

Before October 14, 2020, you were allowed in until 9 p.m., and the doors were closed at 22 p.m. This is over, all cafes, bars and restaurants are now closed.

What can you do?

That's the big question today? Can you make sure that the infections go back on your own? Is the coronavirus real? Where does it really come from? Maybe other things are actually going on here? Are the tests correct? Can we go back to the old normal? Should we accept the new normal?

It is logical that many questions and uncertainties arise at such times. It is also easy to look for responsibility outside of yourself. It's because... It's up to... If they wouldn't do this... If they wouldn't do that.

We've also are also battling against an enormous problem, namely sexually transgressive behavior. Here too we found out that it is not just solved. Change for all often starts alone and as more and more people start to do the same, there is gradually room for change. So if we all want to ensure that we can get more freedom again, then we all have to start achieving that, alone. And that starts small. Wash your hands more often, pay attention to your health, do not travel unnecessarily, do your shopping alone, connect with your friends and family in a creative way.

What would we like to pass on to you is; please keep asking yourself: What can you do to ensure that we can slowly but surely regain our freedom?
