WELLS Between the beginning of March and the end of June of this year, 650 people died from the effects of the corona virus in the GGD region of North and East Gelderland, which also includes Putten. That is 20 percent of the total number of deaths in that period. The number of corona deaths per 100,000 inhabitants is 78.5. More than half (63.1 percent) of the people who died of corona were in a nursing home, care home or other care facility.
This is evident from figures from the Central Bureau of Statistics. In the period from March to June, more than ten thousand Dutch people died from the corona virus. The statistics office listed the number of people who died from a confirmed or suspected infection with the corona virus per region. The virus hit especially hard in the south of the Netherlands.
Of all deaths from March to June, one in six was due to corona. Of those deaths, almost six in ten made use of care under the Long-term Care Act (Wlz) and were in a nursing home, care home, other care institution or received care from home.
