LIVE: Anti-lockdown protest held in Brussels

Anti-lockdown protesters take to the streets of Brussels on Saturday, May 29, to protest against ongoing restrictions aimed at curbing community spread of COVID-19. Current measures have been relaxed in recent weeks in Belgium whose plan is now to reopen the nation fully from September 1 amid a step-by-step easing of measures and continued vaccination campaign. A curfew imposed by the government, previously at the centre of anti-lockdown protests, has been lifted. However the use of facemasks in crowded spaces as well as social distancing measures and limitations on certain non-essential businesses are still in place.
