Brussels –
Several hundred people have gathered in Brussels to protest against the corona measures. The participants gathered at the Financietoren on Sunday afternoon at 12 noon, and delivered a symbolic letter of resignation to virologist Marc Van Ranst.

The demonstrators find the current measures to contain the virus too strict. Co-organizer Michael Verstraeten stated to VRT NWS that they have a mouth mask obligation, one and a half meters social distancing, the distance and the limitations in the hospitality industry, and would rather see the bubbles disappear. He does think that high-risk patients deserve protection. The initiative comes from the vzw Viruswaanzin.
The demonstrators showed up wearing a face mask, but many deliberately misrepresented the gem. Social distance was also not respected by many.
