The number of corona infections in our country is rising again

The number of newly confirmed cases (in 14 days) remains significant. And the share of the 20y-29y and 30y-39y in the newly confirmed cases has risen somewhat in recent weeks. This must be followed carefully. pic.twitter.com/GDJhSEcXsv

More than 61,000

In the same period, an average of six people died per day, which is still a decrease (-17 percent). An average of fifteen people were admitted to hospital per day, also a decrease (-15 percent). On Friday, June 26, 246 people were still in the hospital, 35 of them on intensive care. A week earlier, there were still 308 and 50 respectively.

In total, 61,209 people had been infected with covid-19 since the onset of the epidemic, 9,732 did not survive.

Since Tuesday, Sciensano no longer communicates daily figures, but focuses on the averages of the last seven days. They would better understand the evolution of the epidemic in our country.

Data on the number of new infections and deaths from the last three days has not yet been consolidated, Sciensano notes.
