From 1 June 2020; religious organizations can shape their constitutionally guaranteed freedoms to profess their beliefs in their own way and to give substance to this through religious meetings and other (religious) activities.

Measures for high-risk population groups. Avoid: contact with symptomatic people; groups of people; out-of-house activities in enclosed spaces; public transport; groceries if possible; educational facilities; and kids. At the beginning of the corona outbreak; people from risk groups were advised to stay at home as much as possible and not to receive visitors. Now that the virus is better under control; that is no longer necessary. However; people from risk groups are advised to be extra careful and to follow the measures carefully. It is also important for visitors of people who belong to a risk group to follow the basic rules carefully. Additional advice: It is important for people from risk groups to avoid 'uncontrollable' situations. These are situations where it is not possible to keep a distance of 1.5 meters and where it is not checked whether people have complaints. You can avoid uncontrollable situations and limit the risk of contamination in these ways: only allow visitors without symptoms; observe 1.5 meters distance & hygiene measures; and receive visitors outside if possible. Avoid grocery locations where difficult to keep 1.5 meters distance; or if otherwise choose a quiet time. For vulnerable elderly it is better to let someone else do the shopping or have home delivery. Avoid large gatherings and avaoid public transport.
