477 new daily infections were recorded on average between 18 and 24 August in Belgium.
If the number of new infections is on the decline, the figures remain relatively high to calmly consider a return to school. ” To be honest, this is not the ideal situation to organize large gatherings, like the opening of schools. », A déclaré Pierre Van Damme dans les colonnes de The Last News.
In addition, many Belgians have yet to return from vacation. However, the figures show that 20 to 30% of infections concern people returning from a trip abroad.
« These people must absolutely apply the measures. It is very important that they get tested and that they respect the quarantine », Recalls the virologist.
