LIVE | Nearly 1200 corona patients in hospitals | Inland

The corona density in hospitals continues to increase. Hospitals will treat 1190 patients on Saturday because of infection with the corona virus. That is 51 more than on Friday.

The nursing wards are especially busy. There are 955 corona patients there on Saturday, 55 more than on Friday and 370 more than last week on Saturday. The number of corona patients in intensive care has decreased slightly in the past 24 hours, from 239 to 235. That is the first decrease in a week.

Due to the busyness in the corona wards, the hospitals started spreading patients almost three weeks ago. They are being moved to other parts of the country. In the past 24 hours, nineteen people have been moved to another region, including three people in intensive care. In the past three weeks, 236 people have already been transferred to other parts of the country. They mainly come from the Randstad, because the pressure is greatest in hospitals in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Leiden.
