The National Security Council will review the evolution of the corona crisis in the country from 9 a.m. on Thursday. This is on the table.

Comeos, the employers’ federation of the trade sector, and the Mode Unie hope for that facilitation for shopping. They are calling to re-allow multi-person shopping.

No doubt the situation will be in Brussels discussed now that the Brussels Region is overtaking the city of Antwerp as coronahotspot. The situation is also deteriorating in Namur and Liège. Brussels awaits the Security Council on Thursday for any stricter measures.

The National Security Council wants the epidemiological situation and thus provide guidance to the population.

In an interview on Radio 1, GEES chairman Erika Vlieghe said that she thinks it is too early to approve many new relaxations. “We can’t cut the pie into endless pieces,” she said.
