Consultative Committee determines federal basis for face mask requirement
Today, the Consultative Committee has discussed the epidemiological situation. Given the large differences in vaccination coverage, the Consultative Committee has opted for a differentiated approach. The Committee has established that the number of new infections is stabilising. After a period of slow increase, last week hospital admissions also started declining for the first time since early July. Yet there are big differences. In Flanders, there is a decreasing incidence, in Wallonia, a slight increase and in Brussels, a stabilisation of the infection rates at a high level.
