Belgian households will be able to expand their social circle to include four people from outside their home from May 10. These people must be the same four people and must socialize within the confines of the home. Citizens have been advised to socialize outdoors if they have a garden or terrace, Belgian Prime Minister Sophie Wilmès said in a press conference in Brussels.
Wilmès also said that retailers in Belgium can reopen their doors from May 11. One customer for every 10 square meters will be allowed to shop in a store for a maximum of 30 minutes.
The Prime Minister said that Belgians must shop for groceries on their own, but may be accompanied by children under the age of 18. Those who need assistance may be accompanied whilst shopping.
All sports events in the country have been suspended until July 11. Schools, restaurants and bars are to remain indefinitely closed, the Prime Minister added.
