Mortality recorded in the country in April reached levels close to that of the period 1940–1945. In total, Belgium has recorded 9,080 deaths due to the Coronavirus since the start of the pandemic.

As a result of the new coronavirus news pandemic, mortality in Belgium in April approached in an unprecedented way the levels recorded in the country at the time of the Second World War, according to a study by Belgian academics.


Last month, the country deplored 14,790 deaths according to figures still provisional, which is significantly higher than a usual April when we normally stay below the 9,000 marks on average, indicates this study of the Free University Dutch-speaking Brussels (VUB). 

The deadliest month since the war
The researchers calculated a death rate in April 2020 only 4% lower than that in April 1941, in the midst of the Nazis' occupation of Belgium. 
The seasonal excess mortality recorded in April is generally below that of January, February, and March, the three winter months synonymous with peaks in the influenza pandemic. 

This year, the new coronavirus resulted in "an exceptional situation" which continued into April, said Patrick Deboosere, one of the study's authors. 

The seasonal excess mortality calculated since March 10 "can probably be entirely attributed to Covid-19", continue researchers in VUB demography. 
Youth mortality has dropped sharply
The study also claims that mortality among young people (15–24 years of age) has "fallen" sharply from the usual April averages. The containment measures decreed in mid-March have reduced road deaths. 

Belgium, a country of 11.5 million inhabitants, listed on Monday 9,080 deaths from the coronavirus pandemic, for 55,559 confirmed cases. 

This gives a rate of 783.5 deaths per million inhabitants, higher than those of countries among the most bereaved in the world by the disease (United States: rate of 270.6, Spain: 591.4). 

In addition to the deaths of people tested positive for the virus, the Belgian authorities include in their figures those of untested patients whose death is suspected to be linked to the disease. 

This broad account, which applies to deaths in hospitals as well as those in nursing homes, has been welcomed by the World Health Organization (WHO).
