Camping in the North-Holland village Tuitjenhorn says they want reopening the toilet buildings on their camping ground. They also want clarity very fast about reopening the toiling buildings. The toilet buildings are closed as of the Coronavirus measurements. In May holidays it is very busy. Now the are a few people on the camping. “Why should clothing stores, supermarkets and hardware stores be open, while the much less crowded sanitary buildings must remain closed?” Wrote camping owner Peter Vriend in an open letter to Prime Minister Rutte and Mayor Marjan van Kampen. “If the government does not explain it to us, we will open our sanitary buildings on Monday after the May holiday to a limited extent,” says Vriend at NH Nieuws. According to him, this can be done in a responsible manner. For example, there is an empty cubicle between each toilet and shower cubicle and disinfectants are located at the entrances to the toilet blocks.
