We are now in a new stage of protection against the coronavirus epidemic with the arrival of the vaccine in and the vaccination of healthcare workers. So far, three shipments of Pfizer vaccine have been received, allowing a total of 79,000 healthcare workers to be vaccinated.
In the upcoming weeks, more vaccine will arrive, and vaccination may continue at that rate, with new target groups, including residents and workers in nursing homes.
The goal remains for nurseries and schools to run smoothly and for parents with young children to be able to work.
There is also a curfew between 8pm and 5am, everyone has to get home by 8pm. One case of exemption from the curfew is work, which, however, needs to be justified.
