Coronavirus: Netherlands to adopt COVID-19 ‘herd immunity’ plan, says Dutch PM Mark Rutte

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte says the country can't go into total lockdown and has instead turned to the herd immunity theory.

In remarks that make him the first world leader to publicly back the herd immunity theory, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said a mass lockdown was not feasible and the country had instead opted for a plan that included “controlled distribution” of COVID-19 “among groups that are least at risk”.
