The numbers in Belgium have, however, shot up since September, as adults returned to work and pupils went back to school after their summer break.
Between 9 and 15 October, an average of 7,876 new infections a day were reported, an increase of 79% from the previous week.
Last Tuesday, 12,051 infections with the corona virus had been identified, marking the “highest number of infections recorded in one day since the start of the pandemic,” said Dr Steven Van Gucht, the spokesman for the Belgian virus Crisis Centre, at a press conference on Monday. “We also passed the 10,000 infection mark on Wednesday, October 14, with 10,932 confirmed cases in one day.”
