I just heard that London's field hospitals are now in full use due to the overwhelming number of patients in hospital.
News online regarding Belgium:
Shortage of medical supplies:
Like other countries, Belgium is also facing a shortage of medical supplies.
Vincent Fredericq, head of Belgium’s nursing home association, said some families have sewn masks and donated to nursing homes, adding staff members of these facilities are also at risk.
Belgium also released a decree to keep elderly COVID-19 patients with preexisting conditions in nursing homes and not to send them to hospitals.
Some four people in nursing homes have lost their lives so far in the country.
