Today, the public parliamentary inquiry into the coronavirus policy continues with the hearing of former minister and current mayor of Rotterdam Carola Schouten, and former SGP leader Kees van der Staaij. These hearings are part of a broader evaluation of the coronavirus policy in the Netherlands.

In the last region of the country, the Central Region, schools are reopening today. This marks the end of the summer vacation for many students in this area, which is one of the last regions to start the regular school year.

According to reports, the coronavirus hearings are being conducted in a publicly accessible setting, where members of parliament can ask questions to Schouten and Van der Staaij. The hearings aim to gain insights into the decisions made during the coronavirus crisis.

The weather for today predicts showers moving across the country, with a possibility of thunderstorms. There may also be brief moments of sunshine between the showers.

In addition, a moderate to strong westerly wind is expected, with occasional heavy gusts possible. The maximum temperature today is around 20 degrees.

Tomorrow and Wednesday, a largely dry weather pattern is expected, which offers a positive outlook for the coming days.
