The Dutch government is mandating the use of of face masks in all publicly accessible, covered places from today.
The mandate applies in stores, public transportation (including platforms), barbers, and schools (though not primary schools).
By making a mask mandatory almost everywhere, it is clearer what the rules are,” the government said in a statement.
Those who do not adhere to the mandate face the possibility of a 95 euro ($114) fine.
The mandate does not apply to children under 13 years old, or to buildings not accessible to the general public and places of worship.
