The King of Belgium remained in the house quarantine for several days, and advised his citizens on social media to comply with the instructions, in this difficult period of the outbreak of the Corona virus. But King Philip decided, on Wednesday morning, to get out of his quarantine, not for walks or spending some of his needs, but to visit the hospital unit "UZ", in the municipality of "Gate" of the province of Brussels.
Philip visited the exceptional "Coved" unit, which was created temporarily, on site, to increase the hospital's capacity in terms of intensive care for coronary patients. It also inspects infrastructure, divisions, and other services, created to meet the needs of patients and staff during this period.
During his meeting with members of the nursing staff, the king respected the criteria for social separation, and he also met with psychologists, who provide support to collaborators with the UZ unit. This visit is surprising, as the country's officials have reduced their movements. It is reported that the number of coronavirus infections has been increasing continuously, for two weeks.
Finally, the king did not forget to pay homage and gratitude to the people of goodwill, he visited the temporary sewing workshop, where soft hands, masks and protective clothing are made throughout the day for health care workers on the first and second lines.
