A couple notes on the linked news source (NOS) from a dutch person. The NOS is the national news source, it is government funded but not state operated. As far as I can tell there's no significant bias to their reporting. Tangentially it's a great way to learn dutch as they strive to keep the language they use simple without simplifying the issues themselves. As you'll note in the translation I've linked it's mostly short sentences without complex overarching grammatical constructions. The NOS is currently mirroring the advice RIVM provides on corona, which is the official governmental body dealing with population health and environmental issues.
