Bij verpleeghuis De Oude Plataan in Dieren zijn bouwhekken geplaatst op anderhalve meter afstand van de gevel. Dat was nodig om ouderen te beschermen tegen het coronavirus, zegt directeur Wil Zajdenband. Het hek moet familieleden op afstand houden

Sommige mensen zochten hun ouders of grootouders via de ramen op en raakten hen aan. "Ze zoeken echt lijfelijk contact: handen vasthouden, knuffelen, spullen overhandigen", aldus Zajdenband bij Omroep Gelderland. Volgens hem is meermalen met de families in kwestie gesproken. Maar een aantal familieleden van de 52 bewoners trok zich daar niets van aan.

Het is behoorlijk inleveren

Voor alle verpleeghuizen geldt sinds 20 maart een bezoekverbod. Een kleine groep mensen zoekt in Dieren toch direct contact. "Om en nabij de vijf families", schat Zajdenband. "De richtlijn 'geen lijfelijk contact' is voor het publiek moeilijk. Het is behoorlijk inleveren voor de families. Dat snap ik. Maar zij moeten echt beseffen dat ze heel veel mensen in gevaar brengen."

De hekken staan pal voor de kamers van bewoners. De zorginstelling gaat nogmaals in gesprek met de families. Pas als die aangeven om te stoppen met hun raambezoek, worden de hekken weer weggehaald.

Overigens heeft het kabinet een versoepeling aangekondigd van het verzoekverbod in verpleeghuizen. Vanaf maandag wordt in 25 verpleeghuizen onder strikte voorwaarden maximaal één vaste bezoeker per bewoner toegestaan. Als dat goed blijkt te werken, wordt deze regeling per 25 mei uitgebreid naar meer verpleeghuizen.

Vandaag zijn veel Nederlanders naar buiten gegaan om te winkelen of te recreëren, maar dat heeft op enkele uitzonderingen na niet tot bekeuringen geleid. Dat zegt het Veiligheidsberaad waarin alle veiligheidsregio's zijn vertegenwoordigd.

De meeste mensen deden hun best om anderhalve meter afstand van elkaar te houden. Dat lukt goed, zegt het beraad, maar in centra van steden rond winkels moet nog wel wat gebeuren. De raad pleit voor het instellen van looproutes en het ophangen van webcams, zodat de mensen thuis kunnen zien of het druk is in de stad.

Aanwijzingen van handhavers worden over het algemeen goed nageleefd. Voorzitter Bruls van het Veiligheidsberaad zegt dat aanspreken of waarschuwen bij het niet in acht nemen van afstandsregels meestal genoeg is.

Toch moeten mensen goed blijven nadenken voor ze eropuit gaan, zegt hij. "Dat ze afstand houden, is goed, maar vermijd ook drukte." Hij voegt eraan toe dat sinds Pasen het elk weekend weer iets drukker lijkt te worden.

Amsterdam

In Amsterdam grepen agenten en handhavers in langs de Amstel en in het Vondelpark. Bij het park Somerlust aan de Amstel was het volgens Het Parool erg druk. Toen politieagenten en andere handhavers daar wat van zeiden vertrokken de meeste bezoekers uit zichzelf.

In het Vondelpark sloot de politie de zij-ingangen om de instroom van bezoekers beperkt te houden.
