All non-essential shops must close, including hairdressers. But we can continue to move around and invite one more cuddly contact, the consultation committee decided Friday afternoon. All measures are valid for six weeks and start on Sunday night. There is good news for the school-going youth. Because they see their autumn holiday extended from one to two weeks.

All non-essential stores must be closed but they may have a collection point. Home delivery is also possible. This includes clothing and shoe stores. The horeca was already closed and it will remain so for the time being. Hotels may remain open, but meals may no longer be served in the restaurant. Guests must eat in their room. Also the bars close.
Department stores in food stores remain open, so that hoarding is not necessary because the stocks are more than large enough. Whoever does that is very antisocial, Prime Minister De Croo emphasized at the press conference.
What it Education The autumn holiday that was already extended up to and including 11 November will be a little longer, namely up to and including 15 November. Afterwards, distance learning becomes the rule for the second and third stages of secondary education. That will certainly remain the case until the beginning of December.
Also non-medical contact professions such as hairdressers and beauty salons have to temporarily suspend their activities.
Working from home is no longer recommended but mandatory. Unless there is no other option.
Non-essential movements are not banned or restricted anyway. So there will be no perimeter to limit movements. But they are asked to stay at home as much as possible.
From borders are not closed as with the lockdown in spring.
The 4 home rule will be abolished. Everyone is allowed one more hug contact that he / she can invite home. Walking outside with four is still allowed. Singles may have an extra contact, but it must be the same person for two weeks.
From holiday parks must close on November 3rd. This means that many people who had booked a holiday during this autumn holiday will have to return early. From Monday morning, all indoor and outdoor activities in holiday parks and campsites are already prohibited. Swimming pools be closed. Meals must be taken in the cottages themselves, per family.
There is also bad news at the start of the autumn holiday for the zoos. These must also be closed.
On funerals a maximum of 15 people may still be present. Coffee tables are prohibited. Worship services are prohibited. Four more people are allowed to pray inside the prayer houses.
To the curfew nothing changes. So we have to stay at home between midnight and 6 am. This means that there will be no expansion as in Brussels and Wallonia, where it starts from 10 pm.
