I got the image above from the website of CNBC. You can see how Dutch students cheer on a terrasse of a cafe in Amsterdam on June 25, 2021 when the Netherlands eased Covid-19 restrictions. As I go about my day here in the Netherlands, it is clear that so many people are not practicing social distancing.
"Rule-breaking in cafes and bars in the Netherlands is a persistent problem that the hospitality industry must deal with, the country’s prime minister said as the nation battles with a surge in Covid-19 infections." "Speaking Monday, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte implored the industry to make customers adhere to the rules on social distancing and remain sitting down in their assigned seats, adding that this was critical given the high number of infections." “With regard to the hospitality industry, we would like to point out that it is going well in many places, but in too many places it is not and it is extremely important,” Rutte said at a brief news conference Monday afternoon." www.CNBC.com
