REUTERS/Eva PlevierAMSTERDAM, Dec 17 - The health experts advising the Netherlands' government on COVID-19 strategy have recommended the country go into a "strict" lockdown, Dutch media reported on Friday, just days after a partial lockdown was extended through January.
Health Minister Hugo de Jonge told journalists outside a Cabinet meeting earlier on Friday he had "big worries" about the quick spread of Omicron, which appeared just as a previous wave of infections in the Netherlands had crested."I won't say what extra measures may be needed," De Jonge said, adding that the government would follow the health experts' advice.
