Coronavirus indicators are shooting upward in Belgium, pushing the government to consider reimposing some pandemic measures that it only relaxed a few weeks ago, reports AP.
Daily infections in the nation of 11 million increased by 75 per cent to reach 5,299 cases on a daily basis last week. Hospitalisations increased by 69pc to reach 102 daily cases. Deaths increased slightly, with an average of 13 a day.
To turn around this trend, the government and regional officials are set to decide later today (Tuesday) to boost measures again, although stopping well short of going into a lockdown.
