The Dutch government yesterday announced the reintroduction of some COVID-19 measures, including wearing masks. Prime Minister Mark Rutte said these measures are meant to slow the spread of new COVID-19 cases.
Rutte said that from November 6, the use of "corona passes" that can prove COVID-19 vaccination or the recent coronavirus test negative will be expanded to public places, including museums, stadiums, and outdoor terraces.
In the past week, COVID-19 cases reached their highest level since July, and many hospitals were forced to reduce routine care to make room for urgent COVID-19 cases.
Rutte called on residents to abide by basic hygiene rules-whether vaccinated or not-and stay at home when symptoms appear. "Our own actions are crucial, and a large part of our coronavirus policy depends on it," he said.
Some experts stated that zero tolerance for local COVID-19 cases in China will continue to exist.
In order to prevent local cases from evolving into a broader outbreak, China has developed and continuously improved its arsenal against COVID-including large-scale testing, targeted lockdowns and travel restrictions.
"The policy (in China) will last a long time," Zhong Nanshan, a respiratory disease expert who helped formulate China's COVID strategy in early 2020, told state media. "How long it will last depends on the global virus control situation."
He said that the current global mortality rate of 2% cannot be tolerated in China: "Zero tolerance is indeed costly, but the cost of spreading the virus is even higher."
