A 3-year-old Belgian girl died of novel coronavirus infection – www.chinanews.com Belgian Health Authorities said on the 24th day that, a 3-year-old girl died of the novel coronavirus infection, who was the youngest death caused by novel coronavirus infection in this country. Budwin Katerry, the spokesman of Belgian Health Authorities, said that this girl had other serious illnesses before being infected with the novel coronavirus; in addition to this girl, an 18-year-old youth died of the novel coronavirus infection too recently. Katerry said that 85% of the new confirmed COVID-19 cases in Belgium last week were aged below 60. He cautioned the healthy, younger population not to take it lightly. "It is relatively rare for young people to die of the novel coronavirus infection, but no one is immune now. ” Last week, Belgium saw an 89 % increase in the new confirmed cases of novel coronavirus infection compared to the previous week, with a daily average of 2.9 deaths of novel coronavirus infection, higher than the daily average of 1.7 persons in the previous week. During the peak period of the epidemic in Europe, Belgium had the "highest" proportion of people infected with novel coronavirus in Europe. Belgium has a population of more than 11 million. The latest data show that a total of 64,847 people in Belgium have been infected with the novel coronavirus. Earlier this week, Katerry warned that people must act before the snowball grows bigger and eventually causes an "avalanche". To curb the rebound of the epidemic, Belgian Prime Minister Sophie Wilmès announced on the 23rd day that the rules regarding people wearing masks in public places will be stricter, and the program to further lift restrictive measures in August will also be temporarily suspended.
