The Netherlands is extending a ban on all public gatherings from April 6 until June 1 to curb the spread of the deadly coronavirus, the justice minister said on Monday.
"This will hit hard for some," minister Ferd Grapperhaus told a news conference. "But we have no other choice if we want to stop the coronavirus."
