Belgium officially completes the sad milestone of 30,000 corona deaths: who are they and did they die because of or with covid?

Flanders counts about 15,000 corona deaths compared to 11,000 in Wallonia and 4,000 in Brussels† “All regions have been hit hard, but in proportion Brussels and Wallonia have been hit a little harder,” says Van Gucht.

“This is not surprising for Brussels. Capital cities have been hit harder in all countries. On the one hand, Brussels has a younger population, but there are also residents with a lower socio-economic status. We know that covid can hit them harder, because they are less well informed, or because there is a lower vaccination rate. At the moment, the risk of dying from corona is 6 times higher if you are not vaccinated.”
