Proof of vaccination or negative test made mandatory for public venues as social-distancing measures are lifted
Protesters gathered to march against the introduction of a “corona pass” in the Netherlands on Saturday as proof of Covid-19 vaccination became compulsory to get into bars, restaurants, theatres and other venues.
The new requirement to show the pass – or a recent negative coronavirus test – coincided with the lifting of almost all social-distancing measures in the country, where 72% of the population has received at least one vaccine dose.
