Belgium: Second COVID-19 Wave Forces Belgium and Its Hospitality Sector Into Another Lockdown

On October 19, the Belgian hospitality sector closed again amidst a second COVID-19 wave that surpassed the first wave in the Spring of 2020. The absence of a new federal government until the end of September prevented early effective measures from stopping the second wave. It is expected that the Belgian economy, especially the hospitality sector, will face the dire consequences, despite the extension of existing, and new, emergency measures to underpin businesses and the poor going into winter.
