Ministry of Health:
Covid-19
In 2020 I was also busy with Covid-19. In the beginning of the pandemic I still had
to monitor the situation in hospices and ensure there was enough protective gear
for workers and volunteers. I participated in the so-called ‘Appathon’ to speed up
development of the Dutch Corona warning app. In September I worked for more than
a month in the Corona crisis unit to contribute to the quarantine policy (see letter
to parliament). This involved support to people who need to quarantine, how to enforce
it and how to deal with international travel. For me, a fascinating look in how to
formulate policy in a crisis.
