According to local media, thousands of people took to the streets of Amsterdam on Sunday to protest COVID-19 restrictions in the Netherlands.

At 9:00 a.m. GMT, demonstrators began congregating in the city’s Dam Square. Despite the mayor’s office’s calls for the throng to disperse, the mob continued to grow.

At 13:00 GMT, the demonstrators marched 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) through the city, ending at Dam Square.

The event’s organizer was Michel Reijinga, who is responsible for similar protests against COVID-19 restriction in the past.

According to the Dutch public broadcaster NOS, citing the activist, about 60 groups took part in the march.

In August, the Netherlands announced that starting September 20, a COVID-19 entry pass system will be used at restaurants, bars, cafes, events and cultural venues where more than 75 people are present.
