Belgium is allowing every household to invite up to four guests to their home from Sunday, as part of the country’s strategy to ease coronavirus restrictions.
Prime Minister Sophie Wilmès announced the plan to allow “social bubbles” last week, noting that separation from friends and family had become “unbearable” for some.
But Belgian police have said plan will be impossible to enforce.
On Friday, government’s Covid-19 spokesman Steven Van Gucht urged people to “think very carefully about which household you want to meet”.
“Preferably, choose one family or one household you meet, and stay within that fixed bubble,” Van Gucht said.
Other countries, including the UK, are reportedly considering similar moves to allow people to expand their social groups.
