Part of the special covering on the occasion of Covid-19.
Translated: "thank you for everyone who helps".
At that time, only a very limited number of shops were open. Mouth masks were hardly or not available and only for medical staff. This can also be seen here. This image was outdated a few weeks later.

The trams ran during the Covid-19 measures according to a different timetable. One of the curiosities were a few rides a day towards Luchtbal. Until a couple of months ago line 70 did this, now this was a variation of line 1.
It was a route 7 that would later drive back to the depot.
