If in recent days, contaminations have started to increase slightly in Belgium, this is a “natural development” for Emmanuel André, who calls for a reaction.
“What is clear is that we are today in a phase where the epidemic has fallen sharply in recent weeks, before reaching a plateau, and a plateau, its natural evolution is an increase Hospitalizations and deaths are always ‘delayed’ “, explains the former interfederal spokesperson.
“Something must be done to regain control, if we do not do it it will go wrong again”, he pleads, while a new consultation committee will take place this Friday.
“The same measures no longer have the same impact as two weeks ago, because we are tired.” The virologist fears that the erosion of the effectiveness of the measures will cause an epidemiological revival, all the more so as the end of the year holidays approach. “We have before us important risks which are Christmas, then a week of incubation later, the New Year, two phenomena perfectly timed for the virus.”
“If these people contaminate two or three others at Christmas, then two or three more at New Year, it will be very, very difficult to start 2021”, worries Emmanuel André.
