A plan of deconfinement, in stages: this is what we should announce, at the end of the national security council this Friday. The figures are rather encouraging: fewer hospitalizations, fewer patients admitted, in intensive care. Many subjects will be discussed.
> CORONAVIRUS in Belgium: the latest news
Our evening colleagues were able to consult the report of the group of experts responsible for studying the deconfinement strategy. This work, which contains a series of recommendations, has been handed over to the authorities. It is now up to the government to follow these recommendations or take a completely different direction. According to the newspaper Le Soir, experts recommend wearing the mask in public space from the age of 12.
Thus, according to information reported by our colleagues, all people over 12 years old should wear a mask in public space. “Handcrafted or disposable versions will do the trick, as long as they are renewed or washed properly”, can we read in the columns of Evening.
The Royal Belgian Academy of Medicine announced a few days ago that it recommended the wearing of a cloth mask for the population during this Covid-19 period and during the period of deconfinement. If the artisanal face cover allows a filtration of 70% of the viral particles, the Academy recalls moreover that the effectiveness of these masks will be lessened if it is not coupled with the measures of frequent washing of hands and social distancing .
At the microphone of Fabrice Grosfilley on Bel RTL this Friday, Charlotte Mauchien, psychologist at the Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, explained that the wearing of the mask can be understood by children from 4.5 years. “We can imagine that we can start integrating them around 4/5 years. To maintain them over time and that it remains permanently in the mind, we must wait at least 7/8 years so that, even through the game, we do not forget things that are asked of us, for example, to avoid the spread of the virus, “she said.
