The Dutch government wants to impose a curfew on the population from 8:30 PM to 4:30 AM from Friday until 10 February.
This means that people will not be able to be outside without a valid reason between these hours, the competent minister, Hugo De Jonge, said in a letter to the Lower House.
The Upper House of Parliament has yet to decide on this measure.
