Length of ICU stay was a significant risk factor for infection.

French police have been accused of deporting Roma people at the Belgian border near Lille as a means to artificially inflate deportation figures.

Activist and lawyer Dominique Plancke claims these actions hinder the Roma's integration and ability to find employment in France. The police have responded, stating that the departures are voluntary and re-entry into France in violation of an obligation to leave constitutes an offense.
