No but: still a face mask in public

At first, only the big city received the advice to wear a face mask in public, but this afternoon a nationwide urgent advice was added by Mark Rutte.
It remains a recommendation, but the owner of a public space can indeed refuse you entry for not wearing a face mask. It actually takes effect immediately, while it didn't seem to be an issue at the press conference on Monday. The advice applies to cinemas, hospitality, theaters, etc., etc., except when you are sitting in a chair. I find that last part a relief because try to relax while dining out with such a thing on your face. You get used to it quickly, I know from experience. I just returned from Greece, where wearing a mask in a store and at an airport is already very common. After walking into a store three times without a mask (I really forgot it), I automatically walked back to my hotel room on day three if I had forgotten to take it with me (no one said you get used to it right away). So a face mask, and for everyone who already has a resting bitch face: just squint your eyes sympathetically really helps. You can yawn from now on without a hand in front of your mouth, which I personally find a huge advantage.
