At 1pm this afternoon, the Consultative Committee will meet again to consider tougher measures in an effort to avert the corona crisis. “As Minister of the Interior, I will also be present at that meeting”, Verlinden says on Radio 2 Antwerp. “I cannot anticipate the measures, but the government will do what needs to be done, no matter how unfortunate.”
Will there be a second lockdown? “Let’s not just focus on that word. I think that very strict, drastic measures have already been taken this week. After the closure of the catering industry, there were restrictions in culture, leisure and sports. There is of course a chance that we will be in the Consultation committee will go even further “, Verlinden concludes.
