Code yellow: goodbye to mouth mask and corona pass

For example, the Covid Safe Ticket (CST) should no longer be displayed in the catering industry or at events and the broad mouth mask obligation will disappear, also in education.

After two years

Almost two years after the start of the pandemic and the first lockdown, our country can remove the majority of the corona measures from today.

Specifically, the . disappears corona pass if it Covid Safe Ticket (CST) in the slide and should therefore no longer be displayed in the catering industry or at events. The app to scan those CSTs even activates.

Just like the catering industry, events and indoor activities can also resume full capacity turn. In addition, disappears the general mouth mask obligation, also in education. The obligation will not be deleted for the time being only in healthcare institutions and in public transport.

“These are places where there are many vulnerable people and people are close to each other on public transport,” the prime minister said. Even in busy places or where the distance of 1.5 meters cannot be guaranteed, the mouth mask remains “recommended”.

Travel faster too

The travel rules will also be adjusted from Friday. For example, the general obligation to Passenger Locator Form (PLF) to fill in. The PLF will only have to be completed for those who travel to Belgium from a third country that is not on the white list of the European Union.

For those who travel to Belgium and have one of the three COVID certificates, the test and quarantine obligation also expires.

The aim is also to lift the epidemic emergency on March 11, ending the federal phase of crisis management. That federal phase was proclaimed almost exactly two years ago, on March 13, 2020.
