In Amsterdam (the Netherlands), the magic of Christmas has disappeared since the beginning of the morning of Sunday, December 19. The weather is gloomy, the docks are deserted by cyclists, the Dutch capital has changed in a few hours. “Decisions change all the time and we don’t really understand our government. Sometimes we have the impression that it is improving but in fact it is deteriorating”, testifies a resident of Amsterdam. “Honestly, if we look at the statistics we should expect it”, adds another.

To curb the epidemic, non-essential stores, restaurants, cinemas, theaters did not open Sunday, December 19. This confinement also affects the Dutch in their private life with very precise rules. They can only invite a maximum of two people. There is an exception for Christmas Eve as well as New Year’s Eve, only four people will be allowed. Annoyed, an American tourist interviewed by the France Televisions teams indicated that he was going to leave the country to end his vacation.
