From December 1, face masks compulsory in all indoor public places in the Netherlands
Face masks will be compulsory in all public buildings, shops, and stations from tomorrow as the coronavirus law comes into effect. Failure to comply could land you a 95 euro fine.
The new law provides a legal base for earlier measures and will be valid for the next 3 months. The penalty, just under €100, means people who fail to abide by the rule will not face a criminal record.
The Netherlands is one of the last countries in Europe to impose the wearing of masks indoors following pressure from the public and politics. The Dutch health institute RIVM, which advises the government, still maintains that face masks do not significantly lower the risk of infection.
‘Public spaces’ include shops, museums, theatres and cinemas, as well as station buildings and airports. Masks must also be work when attending appointments at so-called ‘contact professions’, such as hairdressers, nail salons and driving schools. Masks must be worn by both employees and customers.
Retail chains, such as Ahold, which comprises Albert Heijn, Etos and Gall & Gall, have already said they will inform customers about the obligation but will not refuse non-wearers. Also, Blokker, Intertoys, and BCC also said they will inform but not police the new rule.
All shop owners have to make sure that employees wear a mask, as well as informing customers about the obligation of wearing a mask. If customers refuse to wear a mask, shops could consider to call a warden (boa). In all cases, shop owners will not be fined.

“The Netherlands is one of the last countries in Europe to impose the wearing of masks indoors following pressure from the public and politics. The Dutch health institute RIVM, which advises the government, still maintains that face masks do not significantly lower the risk of infection.” – Then why are they doing it? Portugal, Sweden and other European countries are defying this scientifically baseless, culture-murdering insanity.
Do the people of the Netherlands not realize that they are being utterly played? More lies and manipulation and completely unnecessary measures that will be far more destructive than the alleged so-called 2nd wave of the virus, Covid. The PCR test is currently being globally dismissed as inappropriate, inaccurate and misleading, even though it was deliberately implemented for its flaws, which these numbers and resulting measures are being based on. It provides the false impression that people need to stay in abject fear, abandon all common sense and do whatever they are told. There are torrents of information available from profoundly credible sources across the globe that disprove this authoritarian precedent that is actually and ultimately designed to remove every human right that has ever been earned by free people throughout history.
We are being lied to and sold into a slavery that you will not believe until you are fully shackled…and won’t be able to free yourself from, once you are there. If everyone went into intelligent resistance and non-compliance tonight, based on scientific fact, truth and transparency, this whole soul-crushing, economy collapsing nightmare would be over tomorrow.
Furthermore, in the U.S., Dr. Sin Hang Lee demands that clinical trials for vaccines be STOPPED until there is an accurate testing mechanism in place to correctly identify SARS-CoV-2, since the PCR test is very inaccurate. Dr. Yeadon, the former head of Pfizer (big pharma!) research, also went public recently in a viral video recording where he states that the COVID Pandemic is over, and that it is being kept alive by false narratives using the faulty PCR tests. In their STAY OF ACTION filed yesterday, one day BEFORE the U.K. issued emergency use authorization, Dr. Yeadon stated that this vaccine can make females infertile, amongst many other very serious side effects. Search Ivor Cummins for clear, accurate, honest data analysis and interpretation. Meanwhile, Sweden is ‘life back to normal’ – with exactly the same case numbers as the Netherlands….why? Landmark Study Finds Masks Are Ineffective https://tinyurl.com/yx9fjxjq – Stand up now or die a helpless slave. The Dutch landscape is abundant with sheep everywhere one goes. We’re starting to get very clear as to the exact numbers as the year presses on.
