Belgium: masks no longer mandatory from October
By EUobserver
Belgian prime minister Sophie Wilmès has said that wearing face masks will no longer be compulsory from 1 October. "Wearing a mask is very important in the management of the epidemic. However, there is no point in imposing it everywhere all the time," she said. The national security council also eased some other measures, despite an increasing number of infections in the country, which jumped by 62 percent last week.
