COVID-19


Sciensano, the Belgian institute for health, is responsible for the epidemiological follow-up of the COVID-19 epidemic in collaboration with its partners and other healthcare actors. To achieve its mission, Sciensano has reinforced or set up different surveillance systems thanks to the participation of health professionals. Sciensano would like to extend its deepest gratitude to all healthcare professionals for their daily investment in the fight against coronavirus and their commitment to patients.

A series of reports on this epidemiological surveillance is available on the page ‘COVID-19 epidemiological situation’ (FR/NL/DE).
For other COVID-19-related resources, including procedures, research projects and scientific advice (RAG), please refer to the Sciensano COVID-19 overview page (FR/NL/DE).

The data collected by Sciensano and its health partners can provide insight into the dynamics of the epidemic, help to anticipate different scenarios and to elaborate possible measures to curb the spread of the virus. From 31 March 2020, Sciensano makes a number of ‘Open Data’ data sets available to interested parties on a weekly basis. More information about the data collection is available in the document ‘Frequently asked questions’ (ENG/FR/NL).
