Belgian minister does not feel like Dutch ‘yo-yo policy’ | Inland

Belgium will discuss possible relaxation on Friday, but Vandenbroucke does not want to make “empty promises” about the closing time in the catering industry or the reopening of nightlife from September, he told VTM Nieuws. “We have learned from the Dutch experience that it is best not to give empty perspectives.”

He warns that for the time being only 40 percent of Belgians have been fully vaccinated. According to the minister, it is therefore not yet the time to “let go of all the brakes.”

Belgian virologist Marc van Ranst agrees with the minister. “Better to relax cautiously than a yo-yo policy,” he tweeted.
