Update 2022-02-15: According to media reports on Monday (14 February), the Netherlands will lift most of its COVID-19 restrictions on 25 February. The mask mandate is expected to be dropped and a COVID pass will no longer be required to access most venues. As early as next Friday (18 February), the mandatory closing time in the hospitality sector will be extended from now 10 pm to 1 am (local time). Festivals and other mass events will also be permitted to resume; for indoor events with more than 500 attendees, documentary proof will likely still need to be presented.
