RIVM comes with new figures: probably between 3,500 and 4,000 new corona cases


In the past six days, from Wednesday to Monday, the RIVM has already received 3239 reports of new cases

ZWOLLE – The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) will announce again on Tuesday afternoon how many corona cases have been diagnosed in the past week. It is already clear that there are more than the 2588 new infections from the previous week. The RIVM is likely to report between 3,500 and 4,000 new cases.

The message

In the past six days, from Wednesday to Monday, the RIVM has already received 3,239 reports of new cases from the regional health services. Between Sunday morning and Monday morning, the number of confirmed infections rose by 630, the largest increase in 24 hours since the end of April.

Rapid rise

At the end of June, the RIVM decided to stop daily corona updates, because hardly any people were infected. In the first weekly update, in early July, the institute reported 432 new cases. A week later that had increased to 534 new patients in a week. After that, the virus spread quickly. One week after the 534 cases, 987 infections were added. Another week later, 1,329 people were found to have contracted the coronavirus, and 2,588 cases were diagnosed in the week to Tuesday.

Outside the Randstad and West Brabant, it remains relatively quiet for the time being. An outbreak like the one in Dokkum, where eighteen young friends became ill after an outdoor party, is an exception.

In the region of Zwolle, it is still quiet with the number of infections. In Zwolle there are four infections, in Kampen two and in Hattem none.
