Protests against COVID-19 in the Netherlands (Dutch: coronaprotesten) were a series of protests and riots in the Netherlands against the government COVID-19 prevention measures, which were in force between 27 January 2020[19] and 20 May 2022,[20] with travel restrictions lifted on 17 September 2022.[21] The protests came to a head with the 2021 Dutch curfew riots (Dutch: avondklokrellen) in response to a nationwide night-time curfew between 23 January and 28 April 2021.[20] Since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands, a number of anti-lockdown protest groups[22] and individual protesters[23] have shifted their attention to the ongoing, largely concurrent Dutch farmers' protests against government legislation to limit agricultural pollution by downsizing livestock production.[24][25]
