New rules in Netherlands to cope with virus surge
Many residents in the Netherlands will for the first time be advised to wear a face mask in shops as the country introduces a range of measures to control a second coronavirus wave.
Compared to its neighbours, the Netherlands had largely avoided strict restrictions until now.
This week nearly 3,000 infections daily are being recorded in the nation of 17 million people.
The new measures will start on Tuesday and last for at least three weeks.
"We are doing our best, but the virus is doing better," Health Minister Hugo de Jong admitted on Monday.
In a televised press conference Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte explained that the situation in the country's three largest cities, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague had become "serious" and required urgent action.
From Tuesday people should avoid non-essential travel between the three cities, he said.
Restaurants and bars will be required to close by 22:00 - a move that echoes other European countries including the UK, Spain and France which have introduced similar earlier closing times.
People will be advised to work from home, social gatherings inside people's homes must not exceed three people, and fans will no longer be allowed to attend sports events.

All the countries who were being somewhat reasonable are cucking hard except Sweden. Fuking Sweden of all places.
