What is the “Corona Act”?
This ‘Temporary Covid-19 Measures Act’ came into force in December 2020. This law is the legal basis for the office to implement corona measures. This gives the cabinet the scope, among other things, to impose distance rules or the obligation to wear a face mask or to close sectors if this is deemed necessary to combat the corona crisis.
The law is still valid for three months and a possible extension must be discussed in the House of Representatives and the Senate. Today, the Senate will discuss the fifth extension, which has already started and will last until June 1. Entering the QR code as an admission ticket is also part of the fifth expansion.
In the meantime, the cabinet presented a sixth extension proposal, which should come into effect on 1 June. The QR code has been removed there. Then it can no longer be imported on the basis of the corona law.
Is there a good chance that the corona law will disappear?
It seems like. Today the Senate will discuss and vote on the fifth extension. Recently, only coalition parties voted to expand the House of Representatives. It does not have a coalition majority in the Senate, so in addition to the coalition parties, at least one opposition party must vote for this extension.
And it looks difficult. Opposition parties such as PvdA and GroenLinks, which previously supported the law, would not want to do so again unless “very new and very convincing arguments are presented”.
If the Senate votes against the provisional bill, it will be withdrawn immediately.
