All of Belgium has been placed on a curfew for two weeks now. From 0:00 on November 2 (local time), Belgium imposed a curfew day and night. People have to limit their way to the street and go out only when it is absolutely necessary. Gathering more than 4 people in public, all outdoor sports and cultural activities are prohibited. Schools must be closed until mid-November. Only grocery supermarkets and pharmacies are allowed to open.
In particular, Belgian officials emphasized that tourist resorts and campsites had to be closed because on the occasion of All Saints’ Day, many families in Belgium often went out. Besides, this year’s Noel market will not be held.
According to the assessment, this blockade was not too strict and caused chaos like the previous one, there was no scene where people crowded to buy toilet paper, food, there was no shortage of breathing aids, masks …
The Kingdom of Belgium as well as many European countries is re-blockading but still opening national borders. Accordingly, people from Vietnam are still allowed to enter Europe (if necessary). However, the afternoon to Vietnam will face more difficulties and not much related to the blockade.
Due to the recurrence of the COVID-19 epidemic in Europe, the number of flights to rescue Vietnamese citizens in Europe decreased, in October there were 4 flights, but in November there are only 2 flights including flights from Paris (France) on 11/11 and from Frankfurt (Germany) on 18/11.
