The outbreak in a facility located in the municipality of Mol, in the province of Antwerp. Three days after the December 4 meeting, the man was found to be suffering from coronavirus. In the following weeks, the infection spread to 121 of the asylum’s 169 residents and 36 employees.
The balance of the Covid outbreak that occurred in a Belgian nursing home after the visit of a virus-positive Santa Claus, which took place on December 4, is 18 dead and 157 infected. To report it is the Brussels Times on Christmas Day. The alleged “super-lecturer”, the son of one of the guests at the retirement home, is usually a volunteer at the facility, located in the municipality of Mol, in the province of Antwerp. Disguised as Santa Claus, the man visited the elderly to bring them Christmas greetings, spending time with them in common areas. Three days later, he became ill and tested positive for Covid-19. In the following weeks, the infection spread to 121 of the nursing home’s 169 residents and 36 employees. As the Brussels Times points out, the authorities are still trying to find out if the man’s visit has triggered all the infections (HOW, WHERE AND WHO IS THE VACCINE APPLIED – SKY TG24 SPECIAL – ALL LIVE UPDATES).

The mayor of Mol, Wim Cayers, had initially admitted that the visit had not been coordinated with the health authorities but that security measures had been respected.

The story also sparked outrage because the man dressed as Santa Claus had come to the facility at a time when, in reality, regular visits by relatives of the elderly are prohibited. The volunteer ended up in the crosshairs of a campaign of intimidation and online threats so intense that the Municipality of Mol issued a note asking the population to leave him alone. “The Council is clear on this: harassment, in any form, cannot and should not occur,” the note reads, describing the man as “very agitated” by the situation.
