Court orders Belgium to end coronavirus measures due to insufficient legal basis

A Belgian court has ordered the federal government to end all its coronavirus measures within 30 days because it failed to establish a proper legal basis for them, local media reported on Wednesday.

The Brussels court of first instance gave the government 30 days to retract the measures, Le Soir reported, or else face penalties of €5,000 per day and up to a maximum of €200,000 in total.
