The press conference following the National Security Council on Thursday will start at 1:30 PM, according to the Belgian Prime Minister.
Belgium’s National Security Council met on Thursday morning from 9:00 AM to discuss the next stage of the deconfinement strategy.
Last week, the Council decided to postpone its decision on whether or not the country could enter into Phase 5 from August by a week, to see how the figures would evolve.
De persconferentie na de Nationale Veiligheidsraad zal plaatsvinden om 13u30. La conférence de presse après le Conseil National de Sécurité aura lieu à 13h30.
