NL_The Cabinet wants to begin reopening the hospitality industry, cultural sector, and a portion of the events sector. The plan is to allow the opening of the hospitality and cultural organizations, provided they close nightly at 10 p.m., with some conditions also expected. Events with fixed seating may also be able to continue again, ANP learned from sources close to the meeting of Cabinet members on Monday. A final decision will be made on Tuesday.It is still being investigated what the closing time hours will look like for the cultural sector. A system may be implemented where venues are allowed to let people in until 8 p.m., but they have to leave again by 10 p.m. Such a system would not be introduced in the catering industry for practical reasons, the sources said. -Advertentie-

Nightclubs will remain closed for the time being, too. Festivals and other events without fixed seating will not be allowed to get started again.

Zoos and other locations with a constant flow of foot traffic could also be allowed to open again. People there will have to abide by the same rules as when visiting non-essential service providers.

For indoor events with mandatory fixed seating, a limit of 1,250 visitors will apply. Attendance will be limited to a maximum of one-third of the maximum capacity for outdoor events.
