Curfew in Brussels brought forward to 10 pm | Abroad

“The intention is not to start a race with the other authorities or regions, we are facing the situation of the Brussels-Capital Region,” says Vervoort. “We see a slight slowdown in the increase in contamination rates in the Region, but the situation remains very serious. We’ve had more than 2,100 new infections per day for the last three days and we have a 25.7 percent positivity rate for 6,650 tests per day. ”

By bringing forward the curfew, the city is following the stricter corona measures that Wallonia took on Friday to reverse the rapid advance of the corona virus. In French-speaking Belgium, the sharpening starts on Saturday evening. No one is allowed to appear on the street from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. This situation will remain in effect until November 19. In addition, Walloons are no longer allowed to go to the shop with more than two people, although children are not counted.

Belgium imposed a curfew between midnight and 5 a.m. on Monday. After the tightening up in Wallonia and Brussels, those times only apply in Flanders. In Brussels politics, more and more votes were raised on Friday to make the measures stricter and that has now happened.
