"There will be a number of sanitary conditions to be met for each stage"
 

From June 9

An important first step will be taken. 8 out of 10 vulnerable people will have been vaccinated. "This will allow us to initiate a series of things," said De Croo:

• The general wearing of the mask outside has been lifted in the Brussels-Capital region. The municipalities decide for themselves the places where the mask remains obligatory. It depends on the attendance. In enclosed places, such as public transport and shops, it remains compulsory.
• Each household will be able to receive four people inside each day (children not included) 
• The Horeca sector may reopen indoors (until  23h30)
• The terraces may remain open until 23h:30.
• In terms of teleworking, there will be a little more leeway: we can organize one day per week of face-to-face return to the workplace.
• Family shopping is permitted with no time restriction. It is also authorized for two people who are not part of the same household.
• Events (e.g. cultural performances, shows or sports competitions) can take place: indoors (up to 200 people or 75% of the capacity of the hall, seated audience, wearing a mask and respecting the distances of safety) and outdoors (up to 400 people, wearing a mask and respecting safety distances)
• Non-professional sports practice: up to 50 people indoors and 100 people outdoors (except contact sports)
• Youth activities and camps and community life: up to 50 people, without overnight stay. Pre-testing is very strongly recommended
• Parties and receptions: up to 50 people inside. For the rest, the rules set for Horeca apply
• Worship services, weddings and funerals: up to 100 people indoors and 200 people outdoors. If the capacity of the room allows, the rules set for events apply.
• The fitness rooms reopen with protocols relating to ventilation and the mandatory use of an air quality measuring device in a visible location.
• Saunas, Jacuzzis, hammams and public steam baths can reopen.
• Cinemas, bowling alleys, arcades, casinos, betting agencies reopen with ventilation protocols. The same goes for indoor activities in natural parks, animal parks, indoor playgrounds, indoor leisure facilities, tropical swimming pools, casinos, betting companies, arcades, solariums and bowling alleys.
• Door-to-door sales are again authorized,
• Sex workers can resume their activities.
• Events of up to 100 people, according to a pre-defined route, are authorized.
