In the upcoming weeks, more vaccine will arrive, and vaccination may continue at that rate, with new target groups, including residents and workers in nursing homes.
The goal remains for nurseries and schools to run smoothly and for parents with young children to be able to work.
There is also a curfew between 8pm and 5am, everyone has to get home by 8pm. One case of exemption from the curfew is work, which, however, needs to be justified.
