20 January 2021: The number of infections falls for the second day in a row

20 January 2021: The number of cases continued to fall slightly for the second day in a row. On average during the week to 16 January 1,988 people a day tested positive for the coronavirus, that is down 5% on the week. Good news, but the plateau we seem to have reached is still too high. In conjunction with the emergence of new variants there is no room for complacency. Nevertheless, we’re seeing that more people are traveling to work, and that the government, whilst discouraging non-essential travel, is still opposing a complete travel ban. Meanwhile, a total of 285,775 Covid-19 vaccines have been delivered to our country as of last Sunday (281,775 Pfizer/BioNTech and 4,000 Moderna) and 112,293 people have received the first dose of the vaccine as of Monday 18 January. Today’s picture reminded me that it has been a while since I last was dragging my luggage around. For every disadvantage there is an advantage… Ghent, Belgium
