The Netherlands: Current coronavirus rules will last well into December, Dutch prime minister says
The partial lockdown imposed in the Netherlands two weeks ago will last deep into December, prime minister Mark Rutte and health minister Hugo de Jonge told reporters on Tuesday evening.
‘You can assume that you will celebrate Sinterklaas in a small group, with no more than three people from outside your household,’ Rutte said. ‘It is still too early to say about Christmas.’ Ministers are also working on new recommendations for holiday travel, both in the Netherlands and abroad, and that could be published as early as later this week, Rutte said.

Britain: Boris Johnson calls for a snap general election on December 12
- UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday called for a snap general election on December 1
- The prime minister is expected to bring forward a motion next week to hold an election before Christmas.
- It would require the support of two-thirds of MPs in the House of Commons.
- Opposition parties have rejected previous election motions for fear that Johnson would take the UK out of the European Union without a deal during the election period.
- However, the EU is expected to grant the UK another Brexit delay on Friday, paving the way for opposition parties to back a fresh election.
- The Labour Party is set to back a snap election once Brexit has been delayed.
