After three long years of restrictions, the first plane arriving from China lands on Belgian soil. News that worries several countries. Since China abandoned its “zero Covid” policy on December 7, hospitals have been overwhelmed by a wave of sick people.
Faced with this surge in cases, more and more countries are imposing testing and other restrictions on Chinese visitors. While several European countries are also aligning themselves with these restrictions, Belgium, for its part, awaits a common European position and does not impose any restrictions on the arrival of travelers from China.
While Chinese travelers are delighted to be able to travel freely and celebrate the New Year abroad. Flight attendants are more radical. Equipped with anti-covid clothing, they throw a thrill at Zaventem airport. As for Belgian travellers, opinions are mixed.
