Yves Coppieters on the coronavirus in Belgium: “Young people will be the main vectors of contamination” (video)

“The epidemic is stable but it is not decreasing,” said the epidemiologist.

LBelgium is entering a new phase of deconfinement. This Wednesday, July 1 marks the start of phase 4 and the authorization of new activities. On this occasion, epidemiologist Yves Coppieters gave an update on the situation in Belgium on the set of RTBF.

“The epidemic is stable with 8 new cases detected on average over the last 7 days, between 5 and 7 deaths per 24 hours,” he contextualized. The epidemic is stable but it is not decreasing. It is a low noise and we will live with this low noise with a stable number of transmissions. “

“If people are still in contact with the same people, they are very unlikely to be infected,” he said. On the other hand, with the holidays, if you widen your social bubble, you risk increasing these transmissions. They are going to be done among young people, which is observed in neighboring countries. Young people will be the main vectors of contamination in relation to the gradual resumption of their activities. ”
