Hundreds of people protest Brussels against closure of theatre and cinema

Protesters gathered in Mont des Arts and cheered slogans, while some musical instruments played.

The country has introduced a number of new restrictions, as the number of cases of choreography has doubled over the past week. These are mostly cases of the coronary variants of omicron.

Interior spaces such as cinemas, theatres, concert halls and conferences will have to close their doors and public access to stadiums and sports events will be banned. Christmas dishes in nature may remain open with limited capacity, but amusement parks will have to be closed.

Belgium has so far reported more than two million cases, with at least 28.149 deaths.
