The opposition parties have once once more recalled their rejection of this text which allows the restriction of a certain number of freedoms. On the French-speaking side, the PTB, the cdH and DéFI have, for different aspects, challenged the implementation of this device: putting parliament out of play, duration of this extension while the health situation is improving or even ineffectiveness of the measures taken.
The Chamber also approved two texts extending certain support measures and granting derogations, on the one hand, in the education and care sectors in order to guarantee a sufficient flow of workers and, on the other hand, in the all economic sectors when companies are faced with an excessively high level of absenteeism due to contamination and the quarantine obligations of their workers during the period from January 23 to February 28.
These texts are approved on the eve of a consultation committee which should bring Belgium from the red code to the orange code of the corona barometer, according to the explanations of the Prime Minister, and therefore lead to relaxations from the end of next week. .
