Crown bud in nursing home
26 residents die after visiting Santa Claus
A man disguises himself as Santa Claus and visits a nursing home in Belgium. Then 26 Corona residents die, more than 100 people are infected. One thing is for sure: the man was infected and knew nothing about it. It is not yet clear if the massive outbreak was due to him.
26 residents of a nursing home in Belgium died of Covid-19 after a visit from St. Santa Claus in disguise he was a carrier of the corona virus, but knew nothing of his infection. The Flemish health authorities announced. The man only tested positive later. 169 people are currently housed in the Antwerp province nursing home, an employee of the AFP news agency said. 85 residents and 40 employees were infected with the corona virus.
The disguised Nicholas visited residents on December 5, and the crown outbreak was noticed a few days later. Virologist Marc Van Ranst noted that most of those infected in the nursing home were infected “from the same source.” The spokesman for the Flemish health authority, Joris Moonens, stressed, however, that “there is no certainty” that San Nicolás has infected the residents.
Nursing homes and nursing homes in Belgium are particularly affected by the corona crisis: 11,066 home residents have died with the corona virus since the pandemic began. That corresponds to about 57 percent of all deaths in the country. The human rights organization Amnesty International accused the Belgian government of “neglecting” nursing homes during the pandemic.
