The Hague - 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.
While face masks will still be mandatory on public transport, students and teachers will no longer have to wear masks in schools, and a rule for 1.5-metre distancing in public was also scrapped. Most Dutch people support the introduction of the admission pass, but it has drawn criticism from the hospitality sector.
It said many businesses saw the requirement as a"political tool" aimed at boosting vaccination take-up.
