Friends, we draw your attention to the current epidemiological situation according to Vivalis, the regional health service of Brussels.
According to experts, the spread of COVID-19 in Belgium is increasing, although the overall level of respiratory infections remains basic. The activity of influenza viruses is currently low.
Cases of infection with the West Nile virus, which is transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes, have also been detected in Flanders and Brussels. Therefore, it is important to protect yourself from bites and use repellents.
Special attention should be paid to typhoid fever: the number of cases has increased among people who have recently returned from Senegal and Guinea. If you feel unwell after traveling, consult a doctor and report where you have been.
Take care of yourself, follow simple preventive measures and follow official messages.
