The Netherlands’ approach is essentially to control the virus as much as possible, avoid overburdening the healthcare system and protect vulnerable groups. We can get coronavirus under control, but only if we all follow the basic rules. To find out more about the information on this page, go to ‘Explanation of the data presented’.
Every three weeks a survey of a representative sample of the Dutch population is carried out. Survey respondents all answer the same questions about the basic rules that the government has laid down to combat coronavirus. The purpose of the survey is to find out to what extent the public supports and follows these rules. The survey is coordinated and published by RIVM, and carried out by Kantar Public.
208 people in this region participated in the survey between 11 May and 17 May.
This table shows the percentage of people from this safety region who indicate that they follow the basis rules in daily life and whether he or she supports the basic rule. The last column shows whether this percentage increases, decreases or stays the same compared to the previous measurement.
