It's been
eight months of masks, of lockdowns and curfews, of living in fear of COVID 19.

becoming a major risk.
In Belgium,
people are returning to school and work after the summer break. The number of

support the restrictive measures aimed at slowing the spread of the virus. Our
reporter Teri Schulz sent this report from Brussels.
