26 July 2020: Corona Update From The Black Forest

Flanders glows orange on the map presented by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. The colour indicates over twenty cases of coronavirus per 100,000 head of population during the past fortnight. Experts keep emphasizing that contact between people needs to be reduced if Belgium wants to avoid a second wave of Coronavirus infections.

In Germany, the Robert Koch Institute, which is in charge of the fight against infectious diseases pointed to a sharp daily increase in new infections in certain parts of the country.
