“The number of new infections during August 3-9 increased 13% from the previous week. On average, 601.4 people per day have tested positive for Covid-19. For several days, we have seen that this increase has stabilized and that exponential growth seems to be interrupted, ”said the Sciensano on Wednesday.
“However, this average hides important regional differences. The largest increases are observed in the province of West Flanders (65%) and in the Brussels Capital Region (54%). As for hospitals, the average for the last week is 31 hospitalizations per day. The number of deaths with Covid-19 was 4 per day ”.
