Enjoy your favourite terrace to the fullest
Terraces are now allowed to open from 6 AM to 8 PM. Previously, opening hours were constrained to 12 PM to 6 PM. Now you can enjoy a canal-side breakfast or a dreamy dinner.
In the town of Almeno, in Overijssel, a restaurant owner was met with much support and enthusiasm from locals who could enjoy an early breakfast for only €1 (that’s goedkoep!). Meanwhile, early risers were also determined to get the most out of the new measures and started lining up in from of their favourite terrace at 6 this morning, reports NOS.
Hit the gym or your local sport club (finally!)
Gyms and indoor swimming pools have also reopened with a maximum capacity of 30 people. Measures for outdoor sports have also been relaxed further. Now, people aged 27 and above can exercise outdoors while keeping 1.5 metres distance, whilst those under 27 can train without social distancing.
People were eager to start working on their summer bods, with some beginning as soon as gyms opened at midnight. To welcome their members, several gyms had organized special opening hours to celebrate their reopening — some even with champagne, hoera!🍾
Sing, dance, check out a zoo or ride a rollercoaster
Are you more into exercising your mind than your summer bod? With the new measures going into effect you can do both!
The cultural and entertainment sector has also benefitted from new relaxations. From today, indoor locations for artistic and cultural activities may reopen for music, dance, or theatre lessons.
Zoos and theme parks can reopen their outdoor facilities with a maximum of one person per 10 square metres, and outdoor venues for performing arts and film screening can now welcome up to 30 visitors at a time.
