Pride and COVID-19

Pride Events and COVID-19

The COVID-19 barometer in Belgium now allows us to organise Belgian Pride without any particular restrictions since we are in “code yellow”.

Discover all the events!

Currently, we are all going through a period the likes of which we hope we will never have to experience again. Not only are these uncertain times, it’s also a time of feel anxiety, uncertainty and loneliness.

This is why we would like to help you!

 

How to protect myself and others?

To protect yourself and others against the new coronavirus (Covid-19), you can apply the following measures to improve your personal hygiene:

  1. Stay at home when you are sick.
  2. Wash your hands regularly.
  3. Use a new paper handkerchief each time and throw it away in a closed dustbin.
  4. No handkerchief? Cough or sneeze into your elbow.

 

What can I do to slow down the spread of the virus?

  1. Stay home as much as possible.
  2. Avoid holding hands, kissing, or cuddling.
  3. Be attentive to at-risk groups. These are persons over 65 years old, diabetics, persons with heart, lung or kidney diseases, persons with a weakened immune system, etc.
  4. Contact between children and the elderly is not recommended.
  5. Keep a safe distance from others (1.5 meters) when you are outside.

More information concerning the virus can be found at www.info-coronavirus.be, coronavirus.brussels and www.who.int.
