Via The Brussels Times: Belgium moves towards 20,000 infections per day this week.
Belgium’s coronavirus figures continue to rise “alarmingly” and will probably reach 20,000 new infections per day this week, health officials said during a press conference on Friday.
“The infection figures are now doubling every nine days,” said virologist and interfederal Covid-19 spokesperson Steven Van Gucht. On Tuesday, Belgium registered over 15,000 infections in one day. “This week, we will probably move towards 20,000 cases per day.”
“This means that more than 1 in 100 Belgians would be infectious,” Van Gucht said.
Crossing the mark of 10,000 infections per day means that 1% of Belgians have been infected with the coronavirus in the last two weeks, according to biostatistician at UHasselt and KU Leuven Geert Molenberghs
