Now that hard work is being done in the background on the Testwet Covid-19 and little by little what comes out, Shiva de Winter of the Dutch Foundation for Water & Swimming Safety sifting through the law. In short, according to De Winter, it comes down to “the government” at public transit locations, among other things, to determine whether and who should be tested before entry. This means there is a license to test everything that is loose and stuck. Such as amusement parks that encounter the fact that visitors under the age of 12 must also be able to submit a negative test. Absolutely out of the question.

Leaving the costs aside. Swimming pools have long been one of his areas of expertise. With a lot of pain and effort, the swimming lesson was restarted under the heading of “repair policy of the cabinet”. This with a personal word of thanks for his efforts by the director of VWS. Now eight weeks further without significant corona problems, it will not happen that The Hague will place a test obligation in between. In addition, a swimming pool has been designated as safe several times due to the high ventilation rate and the 24/7 disinfection of the water.
The fact that the world will open up is an understatement according to Shiva de Winter. He believes that testing cannot be mandatory for everyone. People should have the choice to have themselves tested and where possible, public transfer locations should be able to be opened without testing. Most importantly, quotes de Winter, save children for a swimming lesson. If the test does not make adults happy, let alone how a child experiences it. Shallow or not, it feels bad. Nor have we yet talked about the duration of this, from his point of view, nonsensical step and law. “The new normal” is not so normal if there is no more clarity in advance.
Next Thursday, the chamber will debate the testing law and as it stands now, most are positive. The cabinet has always worked without plan B. From week to week and leading by the figures. A bad starting position, as it turned out in many areas. Of course it is a pandemic and measures must be taken. Only the plan B that is now there is disastrous for many branches that fall under it. So, The Hague, first clarity, openness and sympathy for that law will be dealt with further at all.
