Clarification of the number of new COVID-19 cases in today's figures
04/15/2020

On Tuesday April 14, 2,454 new COVID-19 cases were reported. This sudden high number is due to the addition of the first results of the tests on residents and care staff in residential care centers. It concerns 10871 samples analyzed since 10/4 (5669 for staff and 5202 for residents), of which 790 staff and 1047 residents respectively tested positive. These 1837 are retroactively added to the 617 “normal” cases reported in the last 24 hours. The circulation of the virus in the population is therefore no greater than before.

It is also too early at this point to draw conclusions from the results from the residential care centers. That will be done by the experts in the coming days.

Belgium now has the highest death rate from COVID-19 in the European Union but officials insist it is because they have been totally transparent with the data.

With more than 11.5 million inhabitants, Belgium has more than 4,800 deaths and an average of around 419 per one million inhabitants, now ahead of Spain at 409 per one million, the second highest in the EU.

Belgium’s neighbours Britain and France have averages of 202 and 274 per one million respectively, with total reported deaths on the order of 14,000 and 18,000 for populations that are six times bigger.

Belgian Prime Minister Sophie Wilmes had to explain why that was the case on Wednesday (15 April), and said the government “made the choice of full transparency when communicating deaths linked to COVID-19,” even if it resulted in “numbers that are sometimes overestimated.”

Most official tallies probably reflect only a fraction of the actual number of infections, because many countries are testing only the most serious cases.

Unlike some countries, Belgium takes fully into account the dramatic situation in retirement homes.

In the country’s more than 1,500 such facilities, the numbers include deaths that are considered linked to the coronavirus even if it has not been proven by tests, a choice not taken by many others.
