Christmas and New Year celebrations. That they're not testing non-symptomatic contacts is an indication of failure, as testing capacity is implied to be exceeded and thus test and tracing is no longer an effective tool.
It seems the lockdown in the Netherlands had effect, data's entered in the public report on Tuesdays, but there's a flat rate of corona infections from mid December onwards.
Which, I'll note, is still substantially greater than the rate during the first lockdown. The graphs show quite effectively just how mismanaged the virus was during the summer.
Hopefully, by next Tuesday there's an indication of decreasing numbers, but I'm not so certain of that. While Christmas and New Year were locked down in the Netherlands, the Saint Nicholas celebrations were not and that's a far bigger deal than Christmas is here.
