Belgium's COVID-19 Cases Surging

VOA News

   A Belgian health official Wednesday warned COVID-19 is spreading
   "intensively" in the country, with the number of patients admitted to
   Belgium's intensive care units doubling in the past month.

   At a news conference in Brussels, Belgium Federal Virus Taskforce
   spokeswoman Frederique Jacobs painted a grim picture of the situation
   in Belgium, saying the number of cases continues to rise, with no fewer
   than 13 municipalities in which more than 100 people per 100,000
   inhabitants have tested positive. "That's one person in 1,000 infected
   as of last week," she noted.
