As of May 4, a number of measures are expected to relax. That the Antwerp doctor Wouter Arrazola de Oñate. There are 1,200 contact researchers for corona in Flanders. Arrazola is a counselor.
The 1,200 contact investigators have to work when someone is infected with Covid-19. Then it is necessary to check with whom he had contact the days before. They are then all contacted and asked to keep themselves quarantined. It is an important strategy to control the virus.
Arrazola is very clear in his advice. “I have a date that is not feasible: it is May 3. It is immediately a very important message to the National Security Council: do not let the measures go by May 3,” he says in Terzake.
Not done yet
The reason is simple: “We are not ready yet. The system of the contact investigation is not yet perfect, but also and especially because the number of cases per day is just too high,” says the epidemiologist. The question is then: when is it? “A little longer. Two weeks more is enough,” he says.
“May 3 is not feasible. The contact investigation system is not yet perfect. And the number of cases per day is still too high.”
