Dutch police say they have arrested at least 21 people during a fourth night of unrest over coronavirus measures, although the situation has calmed down.

Prime Minister Mark Rutte has slammed the days-long spree of “pure violence” by “idiots”, and warned that more Covid restrictions are on the cards.

Small groups caused trouble in Zwolle, Groningen and Roosendaal on Monday night though not on the scale of violence that rocked major cities at the weekend.
