All retail stores and shops are scheduled to reopen on Monday 11 May after almost two months of lockdown, quarantine or confinement.

Prime minister Sophie Wilmès (MR) remains cautious. “Nothing is granted. There’s no certainty.”

Stadsfeestzaal is installing a ‘disinfection tunnel’ to go to the basement. To enter the complex, there will be a ‘disinfection wall’.

We’ll go check it out as soon as possible.
