Social contacts must now be reduced as drastically as possible, “to that which cannot be ruled out”. She said that on Monday evening in De Afspraak op Canvas.

For Berx it is now already five past twelve and “it is very urgent time to have consultation and to proceed to very far-reaching tightening”. The Antwerp governor referred to, among other things, the situation in healthcare. “Adjusting beds is one thing, but you also need people to take care of,” she said.
The governor referred to the measures and strictures already taken. “Actually, it is drops on the hot plate when you see that that does not help. And that despite all these signals people also organize parties, meet often, go to indoor playgrounds with many. It is also problematic that people with symptoms still go for a consultation with the doctor and then infect doctors that way. Then the gate is gone ”, she said.
“That is what the virus does: infect people, make people sick and kill people,” said the governor. “Now reduce your social contacts as drastically as possible to what cannot be ruled out. That’s what needs to be done now. ”
