China News Service, July 27. According to the website of the Chinese Embassy in Belgium, the epidemic situation in Belgium has rebounded significantly in recent days, and the number of infections in Antwerp and other places has increased significantly. The Belgian Federal Government has decided to suspend the implementation of the fifth round of unblocking measures and has taken measures to prevent epidemics such as expanding the scope of public places where masks are mandatory. The Chinese Embassy in Belgium hereby reminds Chinese citizens in Belgium to pay attention to preventing the risk of a rebound of the epidemic and to effectively protect themselves.

  1. Pay close attention to the epidemic situation and comply with local epidemic prevention regulations. Follow the local epidemic changes and the adjustment of prevention and control policies through official channels in a timely manner, and observe the epidemic prevention regulations such as wearing masks, maintaining social distance, and limiting the number of activities. Maintain a good personal life, pay attention to nutritional balance, strengthen immunity, and reduce the risk of infection.
