Netherlands’ King’s Day: Celebrations toned down over COVID-19

The government has urged people to remain patient at least until May 20.

King’s Day is a major national holiday in the Netherlands, but celebrations this year had been toned down due to the coronavirus pandemic.

More than 4,500 people have died of COVID-19 in the country, while some fear the actual number could be much higher.
