1.5 Meter Monitor July 2021

Since March 2020, several measures have been installed to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus. With the introduction of vaccinations and the infection rates dropping at the beginning of June 2021, the government decided to loosen up several of these preventive measures. Shortly after this, however, infection rates started to rapidly increase, which has led to the reinstallment of some of these measures. Social distancing is currently the key measure operative, but to what extent do people still comply with this measure? How crowded are the streets of Amsterdam currently? Do people keep a 1.5-meter distance?
