Dutch COVID-19 policy restrictions from 25 February 2022 onwards:
On Friday 25 February, the opening times in the Netherlands will return to normal and the following restriction will be lifted:
- showing a coronavirus entry pass (3G) at locations accommodating fewer than 500 people,
- staying 1.5 metres apart,
- wearing face masks while walking around bars and restaurants, schools and shops,
- having a limited number of visitors, and assigned seating in bars, restaurants and other venues.
That means that large night clubs, discotheques, festivals and events can open up without limitations.
To ensure that vulnerable people are able to travel safely, the requirement to wear a face mask on public transport and at airports will remain.
On 15 March the government will evaluate the remaining rules including the face mask requirement for public transport, the pre-admission testing requirement (1G) and the advice on working from home.
All the rules, recommendations and conditions are explained in more detail at government.nl/coronavirus.
