The tone was serious this Friday at the start of the Crisis Center press conference to take stock of the situation in the country. Speaking, Boudewijn Catry looks very bad days and for good reason. “Unfortunately, I have to share some sad news with you today,” he said directly.
“A few days ago, a three-year-old girl died from a Covid-19 infection. This news touches us all deeply, whether as scientists or as parents. I take this moment to offer my condolences to the family, ”added Steven Van Gucht’s replacement. According to Het Laatste Nieuws, the little girl had serious underlying problems.
A death that is added to many others since, on average, three people die each day from the new coronavirus “including, recently, an 18-year-old”. That is why Boudewijn Catry hopes that these sad announcements serve to raise general awareness. “Let this be a red flag. No one is immune, no one can afford to ignore Covid-19 ”.
“May the loss of these two young people and the 9,810 other victims of the Covid bring us back to earth. The virus is still here and our attention cannot be lowered! », He concludes.
