Antarctic outpost hit by Covid-19 outbreak
A Belgian scientific research station in Antarctica is dealing with an outbreak of Covid-19, despite workers being fully vaccinated and based in one of the world's remotest regions.
"All residents of the station were offered the opportunity to leave on a scheduled flight on 12 January. However, they all expressed their wish to stay and continue their work," he added. There are two emergency doctors at the station and new arrivals to the outpost have been suspended until the virus dissipates.
