The Belgian government has 30 days. After that, you have to lift all crown restrictions. This was decided by a court in the capital, Brussels, in the first instance after a lawsuit by the League for Human Rights, several media report. A spokeswoman for the Interior Ministry confirmed the verdict.
The League for Human Rights sued the Belgian state a few weeks ago because the decisions made during the crown pandemic had no legal basis. The ruling now provides for a fine of 5,000 euros a day, but a maximum of 200,000 euros, if not applied.
Contact restrictions, exit ban
According to the Flemish newspaper De Standaard, the Belgian state can appeal. However, this would not have any suspensive effect.
Strict crown rules currently apply in the country. Belgians can only have close contact with one person outside their home. Four people wearing masks are allowed to meet outdoors. Purchases are only possible by appointment. Regardless, restaurants, pubs, and cafes have been closed for months.
There has also been a long night curfew across the country. You are not allowed to enter or leave Belgium without a valid reason. (SDA)
