The measures in the fight against the corona virus will “inevitably” be tightened in the Consultation Committee on Friday. And four weeks will not be enough, maybe even eight. Minister of Health Frank Vandenbroucke (SP.A) warns against this.

There are two discussions to be had, Vandenbroucke said to the French-speaking public broadcaster RTBF. First, tighten up the measures and make sure they are implemented. And second, think about what to do in the longer term. We want to keep sending children to school, but of course there is tension, with the intention of slowing down the epidemic. ”
“If you look at their predictions, epidemiologists say you have to keep the measures in place for at least eight weeks,” Vandenbroucke said. But he does not dare to say whether even that is enough. On the eve of the autumn holidays, he calls on Belgians to limit their trips. “Let’s use this holiday to take action against the virus, thus limiting our contacts.”
