The number of corona infections in our country continues to rise. It increases by 9 percent, to an average of 470 per day, in the last week for which consolidated figures are available.
–
This is evident from data from the Sciensano health institute. This concerns the period from August 28 to September 3.
–
During that period, an average of 3.3 people who were infected with the corona virus died every day. On average, 15.7 patients were hospitalized. Those are still slight decreases. Sunday’s daily report showed that the number of hospital admissions had increased slightly, to a daily average of 16.9. That average applied to the period from August 30 to September 5.
–
223 corona patients were in the hospital on Sunday. Of these, 53 are in intensive care.
–
An increase in the number of corona infections is noticeable in every province, except for Flemish Brabant. The figures are also rising again in the province of Antwerp and in the Brussels Region, which have the highest number of infections in a week with 626 and 858 infections respectively.
