The increase in the number of new cases seems to be stabilizing for a few days and even slowing down somewhat since it was + 13% Thursday compared to the previous seven-day period, + 12% Wednesday, + 11% Tuesday and +16 % Monday.
In total, 76,191 new coronavirus contaminations have been observed in Belgium since the start of the epidemic, or 544 more than the total arrested on Thursday. The real number of contaminations in our country is however much higher, because only the most serious cases were detected at the beginning of the epidemic.
The number of deaths due to Covid-19 in Belgium now stands at 9,916, or 16 more than the total communicated Thursday by Sciensano. The daily average of deaths over a seven-day period is now 5.3, jumping 95% from the previous week.
Over the seven-day period taken into account, the daily average of new hospitalizations was 28.3, which is an increase of 15% from the previous week (compared to a 13% increase reported on Thursday).
The number of people suffering from Covid-19 and hospitalized is increasing again, to 309 (+8). Forty-two new admissions were recorded Thursday for 30 discharges. Seventy-four patients (-2) were in intensive care, including 42 (+2) requiring respiratory assistance.
