Branch organization Koninklijke Horeca Nederland (KHN) calls the proposal non-negotiable. A recent survey among KHN members would show that the vast majority of hospitality entrepreneurs are unwilling to use test certificates as a condition of access to restaurants or cafes.
A conversation that the Horeca Alliance held on Monday with outgoing Minister Ferd Grapperhaus of Security and Justice and outgoing State Secretary Mona Keijzer of Economic Affairs showed that the government is pushing for a recent negative corona test or vaccination certificate to be mandatory. In this way they want to offer more options for entrepreneurs who only allow guests on the basis of this mandatory requirement.
vaccinate
The cabinet should not impose additional obligations on this professional group that are unacceptable and divide society into two groups. Finally, you do not have to have a mandatory vaccination test to do the shopping at AH or the Jumbo and to stumble over each other at the cash registers or the vegetable department. According to KHN chairman Robèr Willemsen, test certificates should not stand in the way of vigorous vaccination, adhering to the basic rules and the will to resume normal life.
"Companies that do want to give you the opportunity to do so. Guests who do not participate can visit other catering establishments that do not make these rules mandatory. Imagine you have to have a negative corona test to eat chips. It shouldn't get much crazier. The government should vaccinate and stop coming up with nonsensical temporary rules. "
“Restaurants and cafes that ask their guests for a recent rapid test could then possibly be allowed to admit more people and groups”, Frans van Rooij of the Horeca Alliance explains to the ANP. He spoke on behalf of the cooperation of the Association of Chinese-Asian Horeca Entrepreneurs (VCHO), the Association of Professional Fryers (ProFri) and the Dutch Horeca Guild (NHG).
