Nearly three thousand new positive corona tests in the Netherlands | NOW

The GGDs reported 2,999 new positive corona tests to the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) in the past 24 hours. The previous 24 hours there were 2,713.

Eight new deaths have also been reported in the past 24 hours. That is less than Saturday, when the RIVM due to an administrative catch-up 38 deaths noted down. Most of these deaths occurred in July, but were discovered later.

Amsterdam reports the most positive tests on Sunday: 465. Rotterdam (282), The Hague (229), Utrecht (78) and Eindhoven (50) will follow.

The number of people admitted to hospital because of a corona infection has increased by 62 to 617, reports the National Coordination Center for Patient Distribution on Sunday. Of the 617 corona patients, 127 are in intensive care, an increase of 5 compared to Saturday.

Ernst Kuipers, chairman of the National Network Acute Care, says that the sharp increase in the number of corona patients admitted is in line with expectations. “We are expecting a similar further increase in the coming week. The combination with regular care will pose a challenge for hospitals in the coming week,” says Kuipers.

Outside the intensive care unit, 490 corona patients are in hospital, 57 more than Saturday. No patients have been moved to intensive care in the past 24 hours. Seventeen clinical patients have been moved to a hospital in another region.
