“There is no reason to hoard”, Prime Minister Alexander De Croo (Open Vld) announced Friday evening during the press conference after the Consultation Committee, when he announced that our country will be in a stricter lockdown from Monday. But many clearly don’t listen to that. For example, on Saturday morning there is an unseen traffic jam in front of the IKEA store in Zaventem. Even the spacious car park is not enough to accommodate the hundreds of people waiting. The traffic jam reaches the street.

“We have not even seen these conditions in the spring,” said spokesman Julie Stordiau. “We let people in one step at a time and urge everyone to follow the safety regulations and respect each other. To ensure that everything runs safely for the customers and our staff, only one customer per 20 square meters is currently allowed, while this is normally one customer per 10 square meters. To be clear: there is no queuing in the shop itself, only in front of the entrance. ” On Friday, the Swedish furniture giant already announced that office supplies are particularly popular now that teleworking is again mandatory.
