Here’s what they discussed:

Covid laws: Two new laws related to covid-19 entered into force in Luxembourg on Thursday related to individuals and businesses and other activities. Duncan Roberts talked about how the implications differ from previous restrictions and the use of emergency legislation in Luxembourg.

Socially-distanced events and networking: Networking and business events face major disruptions as a result of health measures. Jess Bauldry outlined their importance to the economy and how sector players are adapting.

Masks: The wearing of face coverings has been mandatory on public transport and other places in Luxembourg since 20 April. Jess Bauldry talked about the problems Luxembourg faced in procuring masks, the Luxembourg firm that is being investigated by Belgian authorities and the fuzzy logic about the lack of standards of use.

Duncan Roberts expanded on why the wearing of masks has become a political issue in the United States.
