"These data correspond to the communities that the people who tested positive for Covid-19 reported having attended. However, they remain patchy, given that they are declarative and dependent on testing times," Aviq said.
"Collecting this information is nonetheless extremely important, because the measures that can be taken vary depending on the type and number of households."
The system is currently being improved, especially with the framework to collaborate with Sciensano, and coordination between the federated entities, the agency said.
