Travel to Belgium

Hi all,Is anyone travelling to Belgium in the next week or so (for over 48 hours)? Or do you know someone who is doing this?I ask as Belgium seems one of the only EU countries that still require a PCR test on arrival (rather than in advance or not at all). - for example France, Italy, Germany are all no testing or in advance testing.  This is for vaccinated travelers I should add.   There is recent newspaper articles that say this will be reduced to a rapid-antigen test but no clear advice on the Belgium website is provided on this. [The UK.gov advice is wrong].Any help would be appreciated!

Yeh the UK Gov website differs from the Eurostar/Belgium.I'm going to go with the Belgium one now which quite clearly states: Are you travelling from a red zone outside the European Union or Schengen area?If you do not have an EU nationality or main residence you may only travel to Belgium for essential reasons or if you have an approved vaccination certificate with full vaccination. Do you have a vaccination certificate? Get tested on day 1 or 2 after you arrive in Belgium. You have to stay in quarantine until the negative result of your test on day 1 or 2. Get tested again on day 7.
