for your information.
In Belgium, where I live, the end-of-year celebrations have been ruined. Each member of the family is entitled to invite one cuddle contact and one social distance contact where he must respect the 1.5 m rule and mask. although at the parties at home you may only invite one cuddly contact and 4 guests who have to stay outside. The four guests are not allowed to enter the house, not even for a pee. they must be able to reach the garden through an entrance that does not pass the house. In addition, there is a curfew from 12 noon to 5 am.
Some think the measure doesn't go far enough, others hate it.
