Where do people get infected with SARS-CoV-2 today? So which places to avoid, or do you need to exercise caution?
–
Several countries list where cluster infections occur and the extent of the outbreaks. France, for example, has identified more than three hundred ‘clusters’ since early May – that is, three or more related infections.
In our country we have no insight into this because no one keeps data. That is now changing, says Steven Van Gucht, head of Viral Diseases at Sciensano. “There is an inventory of all clusters in the making,” he says. ‘We can learn a lot from that. The location and size of clusters shows how strongly the virus spreads in certain circumstances. ‘
Japan is strongly committed to detecting clusters. Not only to contain the cluster, but also to avoid future contamination in similar situations.
