on Friday, the Interior minister Pieter De Crem was allowed from Saturday the belgians to travel to a neighbouring country to "do their shopping" and " see their loved ones." These moves had been prohibited since 20 march in the framework of the containment measures implemented to combat the pandemic caused by the coronavirus.

Only the visits of an elderly parent in a nursing home (institution for the elderly) or the movement of a child in shared custody or a border worker, were allowed.
