These are the measures against Corona that are being debated in the House of Representatives: curfews, fewer visitors, and a flight ban
Helpful overview: These are the new measures that Prime Minister Marc Rutte and Minister Hugo de Jong announced on Wednesday 20 January against Corona. Rutte said the measures were aimed at preventing a third wave.
