Triathlete Erik Thijs from Hasselt already received a corona fine of 250 euros because he was running on the Hasselt Small Ring, without a mouth mask. “We want clarity and no exceptions,” Vandeput continues. “Not for runners, not for cyclists, not for garbage collectors or employees of the city. Everyone wears a mask. It is also the case that Hasselt has 950 streets where no mask is required and who wants to walk without a mask can do that there.”
