Belgians protest mandatory COVID-19 vax

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM - JANUARY 9: Hundreds of Belgians staged a protest in the capital on Sunday, Jan. 9, against the compulsory vaccination campaign to stop the spread of COVID-19 variants. Protesters gathered around Gare du Nord train station in Brussels and marched in the streets carrying banners and chanting slogans. New COVID-19 cases rose by 52% over the holiday season in Belgium, according to the latest data published by the country’s health institute. An average of 10,126 new infections were detected every day between Dec. 24-30 -- 52% more compared to the previous week’s average, the Public Health Institute Sciensano revealed last week. On Thursday, health authorities recorded a peak of 15,999 daily infections, according to the data. During this period, 72,364 people tested positive out of the total 456,826 examined, indicating a 15.84% positivity rate. The numbers suggested that the epidemiological situation has turned from the slow-down trend experienced before Christmas and that the country may enter soon the fifth wave of the pandemic. Over 70% of the new infections are related to the new omicron variant, the government’s coronavirus spokesperson Yves Van Laethem confirmed on Friday. ​​​​​​​The government is expected this week to introduce new quarantine requirements for travelers returning to Belgium to stop the spread of the new and more contagious variant.
