Foreign visitors to Amsterdam and corona

Tourists and visitors are welcome in Amsterdam. However, it is important that everyone adheres to the rules that apply in the Netherlands. This is the only way that we can stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).These basic rules apply to everyone: 

  • Keep a distance of 1.5 metres from others (2 arms lengths). This is not necessary if you belong to the same household.
  • Avoid busy places: leave an area if it becomes difficult to socially distance.
  • Do not shake hands.
  • Wash your hands with soap and water regularly.
  • Do you have symptoms or mild symptoms? Stay home and get tested.
  • Cough and sneeze into the crook of your elbow.
  • Use paper tissues to blow your nose and put them in the bin straight after use.
  • Non-surgical face masks are mandatory on public transport.

 

These rules are for your own safety and that of others around you.
