India variant in Belgium

From Dutch news-via google translate; 

Twenty Indian students in Belgium have become infected with the Indian corona variant, VRT reports. They arrived by plane in Paris on April 12 and were then transported by bus to Aalst and Leuven, where they will be studying nursing. The group of Indian students consists of 43 people in total.

Upon arrival in Paris, all students tested negative. "There was probably a super spreader on the bus, which slipped through the mesh and infected the others. Five days later, on April 17, the first students became ill," said virologist Marc Van Ranst.

It is striking, according to Van Ranst, that some of the students had already been vaccinated. Scientists suspect that current corona vaccines are less effective against the Indian variant.

Immediately after arriving in Aalst and Leuven, the students went into quarantine. As a result, Van Ranst thinks it is unlikely that the group was able to infect others.

Belgium’s reproduction rate remains at 1.01, meaning that one person with coronavirus infects on average more than one other person, according to the latest official figures published by the Sciensano public health institute on Thursday.

This means that the epidemic is slowly increasing in Belgium.

DJ-Belgium keeps showing up in all kind of variant-statistics...I find it hard to be that optimistic with the India-variant story...testing negative on arrival-then 20 people testing positive 5 days later..april 17. The group was 43 India students...will other show symptoms/test positive later on ? Does the India variant show up later on in testing ? 

The Belgium story may be an example of how the India variant could be still now spreading around the globe-with hardly any restrictions...evading vaccinations much to often...
