It can quickly become complicated and above all costly to find masks as the prospect of deconfinement approaches day by day.

Last Friday, the National Security Council laid the first foundations for deconfinement which should begin on May 4 in Belgium. Among the measures announced, the wearing of a mask. The latter is generally recommended but above all compulsory in public transport.
If many Belgians had already opted to wear the mask during their outings during this confinement period, the latter should therefore soon be generalized. Authorities have offered to those who can make their own masks, including promises to offer online tutorials. But not all Belgians are able to sew their own protection. Where can we get masks in Belgium?
It is obviously possible to buy them online but the practice is not without risk. The prices are very variable and it remains difficult to know if they are indeed up to standards.
Pharmacies
Cloth masks can be purchased at pharmacies, provided there is stock. As our colleagues at RTL Info report to us, masks are already in short supply in many brands. You can still find out about availability in your pharmacy via the site PharmaStock. They are generally sold for 10 euros each.
Malls
In large areas, it is also possible to find fabric masks recently. For a price slightly more affordable than in pharmacies but generally reusable for a shorter time. Finally, surgical masks are also available in certain DIY stores. They sell there by package, about seventy euros for 50 masks.
