The fate of this year's Belgian Formula One Grand Prix was thrown into doubt on Wednesday after the country extended a ban on mass gatherings until the end of August due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The race at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit is scheduled for Aug. 30.
Prime Minister Sophie Wilmes told a news conference on Wednesday her government and economic and medical experts would meet next week to organise a gradual return towards normality from early May.
"The Circuit will await the next communication from the National Security Council," the Spa circuit website said in a statement noting the extension to Aug.
