Since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, Belgium has reported a proportionally high number of COVID-19-related deaths (Table S1, Figure S1)[1]. According to the classification system of Wu I et al i . for severity of COVID-19 symptoms, 37 (86.0%) patients had mild symptoms and four (9.3%) had severe symptoms, and two (4.7%) were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU)[3]. No patients developed severe symptoms and there were therefore no ICU admissions or deaths, and no patients developed symptoms during hospitalization. [Extracted from the article]
