Belgium’s deputy prime minister, Sophie Wilmès, who had led the country until last month, has been taken into intensive care after testing positive for coronavirus.
A spokesman said Wilmès, 45, was stable and conscious but that she was in need of treatment. Wilmès had announced only last Friday that she was going into self-isolation after developing “suspicious symptoms”.
