Ahead of another Government Council on Monday, Prime Minister Xavier Bettel admitted that there were several options on the table, and that an assessment will be drawn up based on this previous week's figures.
Bettel will convene the government on Monday morning to examine the current Covid-19 situation in Luxembourg. The government had already met on Friday, but Monday's sudden gathering comes as a response to an urgent parliamentary question submitted by the CSV on Friday.
CSV MP Martine Hansen has called on the government to be frank with its citizens and the Chamber, and make clearer statements on what direction the country is going in with regards to the pandemic.
Ministers Paulette Lenert, Franz Fayot and Claude Meisch are said to be inquiring if the government is considering stricter measures, even though the current rules were only extended in the Chamber on Tuesday.
On Thursday, Health Minister Paulette Lenert said a strict lockdown was increasingly likely, but that one would still have to wait until the end of the week to determine which steps to take.
According to the information of our colleagues at RTL.lu, rumours of an extension of the current measures after the holidays and the closure of some companies have been circulating this week.
The Minister of Economy, Franz Fayot, said Friday on RTL Radio that one does not have to be a "clairvoyant" to know which parts of the economy will be affected severely again: the hospitality sector, as well as stores, would be shut down.
