The Netherlands will enter into a tough lockdown from tomorrow morning to curb the spread of Omicron, with non-essential shops, bars, restaurants, and other public places to close.

Schools will also shut from Monday, and the lockdown will run until at least 14 January, Prime Minister Mark Rutte has announced.

He said it was "unavoidable because of the fifth wave caused by the Omicron variant that is bearing down on us".
