If we can not yet speak of a second wave of coronavirus, according to Yves Van Laethem, the increase in cases of Covid-19 is still “the most serious warning that we have since the beginning of deconfinement”, a he alerted to the RTL microphone this Friday.
Even if the current figures do not have the same meaning as in March, “it is a ripple that should not become a wave” insisted the expert.
“The 216 new cases are much more representative of the real number” of infected people, explains Yves Van Laethem, referring to the use of tests in a more systematic way.
Local transmission
“There is an essentially local transmission which takes place”, explained the infectiologist who put out of cause the return from vacation of the Belgians. “We have no sign that shows that pleasure trips, at least in Europe, can be involved”.
“There are areas of the country where behavior has not been adequate and could not prevent an increase in cases,” said Yves Van Laethem, who calls for respect for gestures of social distancing.
