A child who attended daycare in a primary school in Kapellen (Antwerp province), tested positive for the new coronavirus, according to the Go!, the Flemish community education network.
Classmates and teachers who have been in contact with him for more than fifteen minutes have to observe a two-week quarantine.
The child had no symptoms and the virus was detected somewhat by chance, GO! said. "He had to undergo a small operation and was tested before being admitted.”
