Belgium's prime minister says mask requirements, some attendance limits and other public health measures will be relaxed as part of a less stringent, long-term coronavirus strategy
Despite the steady rise of COVID-19 cases in a country already hard-hit by the virus Belgian Prime Minister sophie wilmes said Wednesday that mask requirements, some attendance limits and other public health measures will be relaxed as part of a less stringent, long-term coronavirus strategy.
Wilmes said belgium residents should learn to live with the virus but warned against a “widespread slackening†of the basic social-distancing rules.
“We are in a risk-management phase," she said after a National Security Council meeting. “Some rules will be relaxed because they are no longer useful or tenable."
mahebourg is a picturesque village on the southeast coast of mauritius. Its shores are usually buzzing with fishers in the morning, chatting while disembarking their catch from pirogues, or peppered with families or friends sat together playing cards and dominoes. But then tragedy struck, devastating this community of 15,000 people.
In late July, MV Wakashio, a 300-metre long bulk carrier carrying 4,000 tons of oil, crashed into fragile coral reefs a few kilometres from mahebourg. Just under two weeks later, oil started spilling into the turquoise lagoons, turning the sea and the shores black.
