29 March 2020 Update on The Corona Crisis from A Locked Down Ghent

In the last 24 hours, 1,850 new cases of infection by the coronavirus have been confirmed in Belgium bringing the total to 9,134 confirmed cases. Of the newly confirmed cases, 575 have been hospitalised, bringing the total to 3,717, of whom 789 are in intensive care, 99 in the last 24 hours. The remainder are in isolation at home for the time being. 64 new deaths have been reported bringing the total to 353. The number of intensive care hospital beds in use is still well under the nation’s capacity with 43% currently occupied. Let’s hope that efforts against Covid-19 will bear fruit within days now… To keep my sanity, I continue with my daily corona walks. Yesterday I explored some of Ghent’s Street Art Hotspots.
