1 April 2021: Whilst doctors need to make ethical choices the party goes on…

1 April 2021: During the week from 22 to 28 March an average of 4,827 people tested positive forSARCoV-2, a rise of 14% on the figures for the previous week. For over a week now 98% of critical care beds have been full and healthcare professionals expect an increase in Covid patients needing critical care in coming days. The authorities have asked hospitals to postpone all elective procedures. Hence, doctors will have to decide on what is urgent and what can be postponed. It’s the third time in a year that these ethical choices have to be made. Despite this alarming news, largely thanks to the fine weather and the extended Easter break, parks and squares are crowded with partying youngsters downtown Ghent – Ghent, Belgium.
