Coronavirus (COVID19) update | Brussels Special venues

Update 7 MARCH 2022:

On march 4 2022, the Consultative Committee has approved the coronavirus barometer under code YELLOW (from March 7 2022)… Finally !
The following rules apply to conferences, congresses, exhibitions, fairs, and any other type of event.

Purpose :

The coronavirus barometer is a tool for proactive policy preparation and communication. Its aim is to provide more predictability to the sectors involved, structure the decisions of the Consultative Committee and make them more transparent.

Code yellow, orange and red :

The coronavirus barometer has three phases that reflect the level of pressure on healthcare:

• Code yellow: the epidemiological situation and pressure on hospitals are under control
• Code orange: increasing pressure on healthcare system, intervention needed to reverse this trend
• Code red: high risk of overburdening the healthcare system

In addition to the pressures on healthcare, the Consultative Committee will make an overall assessment of the epidemiological situation and pay specific attention to mental health when determining the code.

The sectors concerned :

The coronavirus barometer has three phases that reflect the level of pressure on healthcare: the barometer focuses on events (public or private – no more distinction except funerals and weddings), hospitality and organized group activities. To determine the measures, a distinction will always be made between indoor and outdoor activities as well as those that are non-dynamic/dynamic. Other sectors can be added afterwards if necessary. Education and social contacts will not be included.
