On Thursday, the National Security Council will meet to see whether the measures to contain the virus should or can be made more stringent or relaxed.
Minister of Health Maggie De Block (Open VLD) has not yet commented on this in the House, although she did understand that an expansion of the bubble of five is not easy. “It’s only just that the number of infections has started to slow down. It’s just the last week that we’ve seen the number of hospitalizations not increasing exponentially, but still rising, so we have to be careful there,” said The Block.
The National Security Council must also give the formal green light for the restart of the schools and, in addition to the social bubble, it is also examining the situation around the shops and the cultural sector.
