Wijziging van de Wet publieke gezondheid tot incorporatie van de Regeling 2019-nCoV

This Dutch bill amends the Public Health Act (Wet publieke gezondheid) so that the rules in the 2019-nCoV Regulation become part of the law itself. The 2019-nCoV name points to the novel coronavirus outbreak that began in 2019, so the bill most likely concerns the legal basis for public health measures used in the COVID-19 response. Because this summary relies only on the title and basic metadata, the exact content of the measures is not described here. The bill mainly affects the Dutch government, public health authorities, and the people and organisations subject to the measures the regulation covers. Moving these rules into statute would give them a firmer legal footing than a regulation alone.
