State Secretary Mathieu Michel (MR) took a positive corona test on Thursday. On Saturday he had a high-risk contact with someone who turned out to be infected with the virus afterwards. Because Michel himself had no direct risk contact with government members in the past week, the other ministers should not be quarantined.

Michel has informed Prime Minister Alexander De Croo about this, the Prime Minister’s cabinet said on Friday.
During the past week, no member of the government had a direct high-risk contact with Secretary of State Michel. The members of the government remain extremely vigilant and adhere to the general precautionary measures, ”the Prime Minister said.
Michel was present on Monday at the party desk of the MR, where there was a meeting for hours about the fate of party chairman George-Louis Bouchez.
Walloon government
The Walloon Minister for Health, Christie Morreale (PS), has also tested positive for the corona virus. The entire Walloon government has been in quarantine since Wednesday after Minister Valérie De Bue was found to be infected with Covid-19. Morreale goes into home isolation, but continues her work digitally, just like De Bue.
