3 May 2021: All good news for happy campers…

3 May 2021: Between 25 April and 1 May, 193 corona patients were taken to hospital each day on average, a drop of 18 percent on the week. The total number of patients in our hospitals stands now at 2,593 of which 824 are staying in intensive care. We continue to move in the right direction but there is still a way to go: at the start of the third wave, the number of patients in IC units was 315. The reproduction figure remains stable at 0.89. The number of vaccinated people passed the milestone of 3 million recently. Almost 33 percent of the adult population in Belgium has received at least one jab. All good news for happy campers… Paul de Smet de Naeyerplein, Ghent, Belgium.
