Commercial Producers. The starting point of this protocol is the applicable advice and measures from RIVM.

On Tuesday, April 21, the cabinet announced that it would extend most measures until May 19, 2020; in the week before 19 May, the cabinet will assess what is needed for the period thereafter.

The current ban on licensed and reporting events has been extended to September 1, 2020. Cultural activities, such
