The 74-year-old individual infected with the Coronavirus is in serious condition.
While Het Laatste Nieuws announced the death of an individual infected with the covid-19 virus, information initially confirmed by the Federal Minister of Health Maggie De Block to our colleagues at HLN, it finally turns out that the individual infected with the coronavirus, although in serious condition, did not die.
He is taken care of at the Cliniques de l’Europe in Brussels.
A big hiccup in the communication of the Minister, who herself denied the death she had announced to our colleagues.
“Several patients in Belgium are in a worrying state”
Contacted by us, Vinciane Charlier, spokesperson for the FPS Public Health, said that this 74 year old patient “would have been in contact with a person tested positive for coronavirus and who returned from Italy. This patient who is in serious condition has been hospitalized for a few days at the Cliniques de l’Europe in Brussels. He already suffered from a pulmonary pathology . “
Vinciane Charlier adds that “Several patients from several hospitals in Belgium are in a worrying state. They are mainly elderly patients who all have a history and health problems”.
