“We can be careful enough. If we all wash our hands very well, sneeze in our elbow and use paper handkerchiefs, we will be a lot further.” That says GP Ingeborg van Lingen from Nijverdal. According to her, there is far too much panic around the corona virus outbreak. “It’s a flu virus, it’s just flu.”

According to Van Lingen, the only problem with the corona virus is that it is quite contagious and people can get it easily. That means that many people can get sick at the same time and that is bothering society.
“We should not make it too big,” says Van Lingen. “Children are not in danger at all as far as we can see now, pregnant women the same.”
But why then the panic among people when it comes to the corona virus? A cabinet crisis team meets today. “Everything in the world can be made nowadays, but the corona virus is not,” is the theory of the Nijverdal doctor. “This is going to happen to us.”
Van Lingen remains with the advice that she also gives when a flu virus is active. “Wash your hands, sneeze in your elbow and use paper handkerchiefs.”
