Pending approval by the House of Representatives later today, there will be a curfew in the Netherlands between 8.30 pm and 4.30 am, until 9 February. Universities and students continue to hope that an exception will be made for exams scheduled in the evening.<\/p>\n

The curfew Prime Minister Mark Rutte\u2019s caretaker cabinet plans to impose was announced yesterday. Rutte called the introduction of the curfew \u2013 on top of the lockdown measures already in place \u2013 a drastic measure necessitated by grave concerns about new, more infectious strains of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

Many infections are currently taking place in the home, among family and friends. The ban on being outside from mid-evening should result in fewer people visiting and meeting each other. The number of daily visitors allowed per household will also be further restricted, to just one.<\/p>\n

No exception for exams<\/h2>

The curfew will have a number of exceptions. A draft version of the proposal included an exception for students travelling to take previously scheduled exams, but this passage was later withdrawn. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\t
