Dutch to introduce 'corona' pass despite strong opposition
The Peninsula
AMSTERDAM - The Netherlands will require proof of a COVID-19 vaccination or a recent negative coronavirus test for entry to bars, restaurants, museums, theatres and other cultural events from Sept. 25, as almost all social distancing measures are dropped.
A narrow majority of Dutch parliament late on Thursday rejected a motion calling on the government to change its mind about the 'corona' pass, as Prime Minister Mark Rutte said it was needed to prevent a new wave of infections.
"We are still in a dangerous situation. Not doing this would bring great risks", Rutte said during a heated debate in parliament.
