Can you go to a snack bar or toilet without a Covid Safe Ticket? Flemish government answers last questions


The CST obligation does not apply on the terrace of a catering business. What about unvaccinated customers who have to go to the toilet or who want to pay inside?

They may briefly enter the catering business for both occasions, but must then wear a mouth mask.

I want to rent a catering business for private use. Is checking the Covid Safe Ticket mandatory?

No, in this case you can go ahead. Please note: the rules for private meetings apply, so there is a maximum capacity of 500 people.

Is the corona pass necessary for a visit to the chip shop?

No, on the condition that the fries are only collected. While waiting, a mouth mask must be worn.

Is the corona pass necessary for a visit to the Christmas market?

That will depend on a case-by-case basis. Such a Christmas market can fall under the rules of ‘markets and fairs’ or under those of a mass event. It is the organizer and/or the local authorities that have to make a decision.

Do the CST regulations apply to tourist accommodation (such as hotels or holiday parks)?

You don’t need to stay overnight. However, guests or external parties must present a Covid Safe Ticket to gain access to the breakfast room, restaurant or gym. No corona pass is required for meals taken in the room.

A Covid Safe Ticket for its own employees is not an issue in a company restaurant. But what if external parties want to join the dinner?

Visitors or family members who show up at the workplace must have a corona certificate in their pocket.

A fitness store can offer outdoor activities, without a CST obligation. Can an unvaccinated person go to the toilet and the counter or use the showers?

The same rules apply here as in a catering business. Paying inside or using the toilet is therefore allowed if the customer puts on his / her mouth mask. A Covid Safe Ticket is required for access to the changing rooms and showers.

What about unmanned fitness facilities (for example during the night hours)? Should they close if no staff is provided to monitor the CST?

If no control can be carried out, the case must indeed remain closed.

To go to a retirement home or a mass event, the CST obligation already applies from the age of 12. However, my child just had his birthday and is still waiting for his vaccination. Are free tests provided for that interim period?

Your child is exempt from the corona certificate up to 12 years and 2 months. In principle, this transitional period is sufficient for full vaccination. Free tests are not provided.

Do homeless people also need a CST to get their food?

No, visitors to poverty organizations, food aid initiatives and walk-in centers for the homeless are exempt.
