I am a cross-border worker, what formalities do I have to fulfil?

Since 27 January (temporarily until 1 March) travelling has been prohibited. Only essential travel is still allowed, including professional travel. Each border crossing requires a declaration in honour. This is an obligation of the employee.

You need to fill in and download/print your declaration via the following link: https://travel.info-coronavirus.be/nl/essentiele-reis. You should be able to cross the border to go to work/back home without any problems.

If necessary, your Konvert agency will also provide you with an employer's statement for the curfew. Please contact them if this is not the case.

What can I do to prevent contamination?

There are many steps you take do to prevent spreading the virus yourself or to ensure you don’t become infected.

  • Avoid physical contact: do not shake hands with people, do not kiss.
  • Wash your hands very thoroughly, minimum 20 seconds, with soap and water several times a day.
  • Avoid touching eyes, nose, mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Keep 2 to 3 metres away from others and avoid contact with sick people.
  • Sneeze into a paper tissue that you then dispose of in a closed rubbish bin.
  • Are you unable to sneeze into a tissue? Then sneeze into your elbow.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently used objects (pens, telephones, handles and other surfaces).

Konvert has made all possible arrangements to prevent the spread of the virus. Our measures are in line with government regulations. The situation changes every day, which is why we’ve appointed a coordination team that monitors any progress on this matter on a daily basis and will take the necessary precautions in case needed.
