Temperatures will rise significantly after the weekend. A number of GGDs have adjusted the opening hours of the testing and vaccination locations due to the expected heat. Some locations close completely.
GGD Drenthe, GGD Zaanstreek-Waterland, GGD Gelderland-Midden, GGD Brabant-Zuidoost, GGD Rotterdam-Rijnmond and GGD Utrecht region warn on their website about changed opening times. A number of test and vaccination locations in Utrecht will close completely for one or more days as a precaution.
Drenthe is moving appointments scheduled on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in the afternoon. GGD Zaanstreek-Waterland changes the opening hours of the test and vaccination location at the event site in Purmerend for Monday and Tuesday. And GGD Gelderland-Midden also warns that some fixed locations are closing earlier than usual. “Because overheating and sensible vaccination do not go together.”
In Southeast Brabant, the test locations in Helmond and Eindhoven will only be tested in the morning next week. The opening times of the vaccination locations remain unchanged. GGD Rotterdam-Rijnmond reports that the test vaccination locations will be closed from 1 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday.
