Wallonia adopts a legal framework for wearing a mask in public transport

Concretely, these will now be included in the Walloon decree of October 21, 2021 relating to the use of the Covid Safe Ticket (CST) and the obligation to wear a mask. “This decree will make it possible to have a legal basis in Wallonia and to bring together in a single body of rules the provisions relating to the wearing of a mask” while the end of the epidemic emergency phase, involving federal management of the crisis, must be voted on Thursday in the House, explained Socialist MP Sabine Roberty.

Only the cdH abstained, not because of the substance of the text but “because it would have been easier to proceed in another way”, the decree voted in Wallonia imposing in particular on the German-speaking Community to act on its own side so that the same regulations apply on its territory.

Finally, the regional Minister for Mobility, Philippe Henry, confirmed during the debates that the tarpaulins placed in front of the TECs since the very beginning of the health crisis would be removed from April 4. “This withdrawal will again allow users to board from the front, which will save space, and to buy tickets directly from the driver,” he said.
