		</div><p>The Dutch government has decided to close bars and restaurants as of Wednesday to counter the sustained surge in coronavirus cases across the nation.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Mark Rutte said that the nation needed to move a step closer to a full lockdown because few other countries in Europe saw such an increase in case as the Netherlands.</p>
<p>In the week ending Tuesday, the new cases stood at 43,903 in the nation of 17.3 million, an increase of some 60% over the preceding week.</p>
<p>People ending up in the intensive care units shot up to 192 from 121, and coronavirus deaths reached 150 compared to 89 the week earlier.</p>
<p>The Amsterdam and Rotterdam regions are the current hotbeds of the virus in the Netherlands.</p>
<p>To make sure that revellers unable to go to bars would not party at home, the government also banned the sale of alcohol after 8pm.</p>
<p>The measures come into effect on Wednesday evening.</p>
<p>In additional measures, the government said that any household would be able to receive no more than three guests per day. Public transport travel should be limited as much as possible.</p>
<p>The official death toll from the virus in the Netherlands is 6,587.</p>
