On Tuesday, Minister of Health Ernst Kuipers calls on everyone to be careful with carnival, especially people who belong to the risk group. “Celebrate the party in your own environment and avoid large groups of people”, the minister said.
The expert group OMT previously also drew attention to people with vulnerable health. In general, the omikron variant is much less pathogenic than earlier variants, but infection can still have serious consequences for high-risk groups.
As of Carnival, the corona measures have largely disappeared. However, the minister calls for vigilance. Carnival in Brabant starts with the carnival concert Drie Uurkes Vurraf, this year on Friday afternoon 25 February.
