On Saturday, Deputy Prime Minister Sophie Wilmès (MR) announced via Twitter that she had become infected with the corona virus, presumably within the family circle. The symptoms of covid-19 are now forcing the ex-prime minister to be admitted to the intensive care unit. Her condition is ‘stable’ and she is ‘conscious’, her spokesperson confirms.
Various politicians wish the Deputy Prime Minister a lot of improvement. Prime Minister Alexander De Croo (Open VLD) speaks of a ‘speedy recovery’ and also adds that ‘no one is immune to this dangerous virus’. ‘Tous ensemble’, he says encouragingly. MR Chairman Georges-Louis Bouchez wishes ‘his girlfriend’ a lot of courage. “We know you are strong.”
