In Belgium, the numbers from April 2022 show that approximately 3.9 million corona infections were reported since March 2020. Healthcare workers have been extremely important in these times. They are committed to caring every day and giving good health care during busy periods. Therefore they have been a great support to us all.

The Royal Mint of Belgium issued a unique 2 euro coin, in appreciation of the exceptional efforts of healthcare workers during the Covid-pandemic. The coin has the design of symbols or images related to the healthcare profession (a stethoscope, mortar-and-pestle, syringe, and handicapped sign) next to a worker wearing a medical mask. Legends in three languages each translate to “Thank You.” The obverse side of the coin depicts the 12 stars of the European flag on the outer ring and the 12 stars of the European flag.
