    I should note this is a less restrictive lockdown than France's. It feels sane.

    Full list from article:

    • Everyone must stay at home, and avoid contact with other people as much as possible.

    • People are allowed to leave home to go to work, to buy food, to go to the bank, the post office, the doctor, the pharmacy and to fill up the car with gas.

    • Physical activity in the open air is also still allowed, and even recommended, with one family member, or a friend or acquaintance, provided sufficient distance is kept.

    • All non-essential stores will be closed during the week.

    • Food stores, stores for animal food and pharmacies will remain open all week, but must comply with social distancing.

    • Night shops can stay open until 10:00 PM, but must also comply with social distancing.

    • Working from home will become the norm. If that is not possible, people are only allowed to go to work if the employer can comply with all safety regulations.

    • All gatherings are strictly forbidden.

    • Public transport is allowed to keep running if social distancing can be guaranteed.

    • All non-essential travel abroad is prohibited.

    • Hairdressers are allowed to remain open, but can only have one client at a time.

    • Creches will remain open.

    So far so good. It really feels light so I wonder if those measures will be enough. What's also frustrating is that the sun is finally showing up here in Brussels after months of daily rain. And...

    What's also frustrating is that the sun is finally showing up here in Brussels after months of daily rain. And now we can't really go out.
