The new building of the KOGEKA school in Geel is evacuated to serve as a back-up for the city hospital, in the event that its capacity is exceeded as part of the covid-19 health crisis.
In the gym, seven compartments will be reserved for general practitioners as a triage center and another part of the building can be fitted out to accommodate patients infected with the new coronavirus. “For the moment, the capacity is sufficient and there is still room“said the hospital on Friday.

“If the number of patients exceeds capacity, the school building can quickly be set up to accommodate patients. This space would then be used as a transition zone. For patients who are doing better after hospitalization but cannot yet go home, for example “, adds the hospital.
