6 July 2020 – Update from a post locked down Ghent

Belgian infection rates have stabilised, but we are clearly not out of the woods yet. Belgium and most EU countries have opened their borders for tourists, but the new lockdown in Spain is giving cause for concern. Federal Public Health Minister Maggie De Block gave instructions that people who return to Belgium from Catalonia need to ask their GP for a test and should go into quarantine pending the test results. This is a picture of Barcelona in better times… I’m hoping things get better and the green flag is raised by the time my next meetings are scheduled early September – Barceloneta, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
