Belgium ‘treating everyone as vulnerable’ as cautious reopening stands in stark contrast to UK
The i 18 hrs ago Leo Cendrowicz
Belgium has almost caught up with the UK in its vaccine rollout, despite effectively starting two months later. Yet there is no question of Belgium having a “freedom day“, as Britain has planned with much fanfare for Monday.
Officials say they see Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s plan as a “huge gamble”, as the country proceeds with caution, particularly in regard to the old and vulnerable.
The nation still has strict containment measures in place, with work-from-home the norm, masks still in use, and lots of space between café tables. But it has learned the lessons from hasty reopenings over the past year-and-a-half, both at home and in neighbouring countries: last week, the Netherlands had to humiliatingly reimpose pandemic restrictions, just two weeks after lifting them.
