Frank Vandenbroucke met in the morning with Hans Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe. According to the minister, the two men considered that Europe, and Belgium, were entering a transitional period towards less circulation of the virus. However, the question of the impact of possible future outbreaks remains.
“The debate must move to a state of alert for the future“, judged Deputy Prime Minister Vooruit. This vigilance must include organized care and instruments to be mobilized to deal with a new outbreak. According to the Minister, it is also necessary to think about future vaccination campaigns and the strategy of testing to be planned, as well as the possibility of reactivating the CST if necessary.Finally, the functions of the corona police station, which will be abolished, will have to find a place within the existing administrations.
