As part of the National Security Council (CNS) this Thursday, the Minister of Independents and SMEs Denis Ducarme (MR) will submit to the opinion of the CNS and experts a relaxation of the “one person bubble”, this rule requiring Belgians to do their shopping alone: “Trade is suffering. As we expected, the sales in this COVID summer are not giving good results, ”he explains. “As long as there is no vaccine, we must learn to live with COVID by complying together with the prescribed safety rules that protect everyone in the commercial sphere, namely the customer, the merchant and his employee. But commerce needs oxygen. If the one-customer rule persists for shopping, it will inevitably accelerate bankruptcy. “
