While most places have not been busy for the time being, Rue Neuve in Brussels has been busy since this morning. Around 11 o’clock the busy barometer colored on the website nieuwstraatbrussel.be already red. This means that it is too busy and therefore measures must be taken.
That happened immediately: the police of Brussels had to close an important entrance of Rue Neuve, which is at Place de la Monnaie, because the set maximum capacity was reached to allow shopping to continue safely.
“It is busy here, very busy”, said VRT NWS reporter Stefaan Meerbergen at 1 pm in “Het Journaal”. He saw that there were a lot of people, but at the same time he emphasizes that there is certainly no chaos. ”
