Dilbeek The nursing home Quietas of the group Armonea was Thursday, almost a full day closed off from the outside world. Cause was a letter with white powder was opened at the reception. The nursing home had called to send greeting cards for the residents, but this call was an unexpected twist.
It was around 10.30 am when the woonzorgconsulente a load of letters opened. “This week we launched a call for mass christmas cards to send with warm messages for our sometimes lonely residents,” says director Marc Derveaux. “We hope for 2019. The conscious cover was white with handwritten the name and address of the nursing home, without a specific addressee. There was at the back and no sender. Probably came the letter after our call, and it was certainly not an official envelope as an invoice. When the woonzorgconsulente the cover opened, spread a white powder, which immediately the emergency services were notified.”
