'Christmas in Corona time still uncertain'


It is still uncertain with how many people you can celebrate Christmas or go out for dinner this year, Minister Ferd Grapperhaus (Security) and the mayors of the 25 security regions announced on Monday after the Security Council.



The ministers hope to "be able to say something useful about what is and what is not possible" in December next week.

"In any case, it will not be Christmas or New Year's Eve, as we know it from last year," said Mayor Hubert Bruls of Nijmegen.

"In any case, Christmas looks different from other years", the minister also emphasizes.



The mayors do not want to "relax too much and too quickly" the corona measures to avoid a third wave.

According to Bruls, they have learned from the summer.

"In September and October the contamination figures shot up again."



The chairman of the council also advises to only do Christmas shopping at quiet times.

In addition, he recommends ordering via the internet as much as possible.
