Belgium is in a critical phase. The health system is overloaded by the number of corona cases. Doctors and nurses who are themselves infected with the virus work in the clinics. The alternative would be an even worse solution for many patients. Dozens of doctors and nurses in the completely overloaded clinics in the Belgian province of Liège are on duty, according to trade unionists, despite being infected with the corona virus. “We have to choose between a bad and a very bad solution,” said Philippe Devos of the Belgian Federation of Medical Unions. The very bad solution is not to treat patients at all. According to the EU epidemic authority ECDC, Belgium is the country with the most corona infections within 14 days per 100,000 inhabitants – this value was 1390.9 on Tuesday. The hospitals in the province of Liège in particular, but also in other regions, are overloaded. Most recently, patients were transferred to other Belgian regions and, in some cases, across the German border to Aachen. Last week, according to the authorities, an average of 500 infected people came to the hospital every day – an increase of 88 percent compared to the week before.

Devos himself runs the intensive care unit in a clinic in Liège in the French-speaking part of the country. The doctors and nurses who worked despite the corona infection were symptom-free, he said. There are certainly more than 100 infected nurses on duty in the region’s hospitals. Devos emphasized that they only care for infected patients. They also wore the best masks available. There is a separate room for them to eat. All conditions are such that the risk of infection is very low. Regarding the situation in the hospitals in the Liège province, Devos said: “We have run out of space in the intensive care units, we have no more space outside the intensive care units.” Patients coming to the emergency room would be stabilized and then taken to hospitals in Flanders. This will be done until all hospital beds in Belgium are occupied. Then the quality of care will be reduced – and, for example, fewer nurses will be employed per patient. The number of infected people per 100,000 inhabitants in Liège in the past two weeks was 2,610.
