About 59,000 people die from rabies every year. This makes it the deadliest viral disease in the world. The rabies or rabies virus is transmitted through contact with infected mammals, such as dogs, cats and bats. If you are scratched or bitten by an animal, you will need to be treated with a series of vaccinations.

ANPZorg employees in summary proceedings in February against job loss due to long Covid
NOS Nieuws•vandaag, 12:35
As of today, healthcare workers who contracted Covid in the first corona wave and developed long-term complaints (long Covid) can register with the Ministry of Health for compensation.
Long-term ill healthcare workers receive a one-off amount of 15,000 euros as compensation for loss of income due to disability. They must meet all kinds of conditions and be able to submit the necessary documents and declarations.
According to Minister of Health Helder, this concerns a group of approximately 1,000 people, for whom 33 million euros is available. The counter closes on October 23.
The government’s compensation scheme was introduced after much insistence by the trade unions. The FNV is happy that there is finally an arrangement, but calls the arrangement meager, for too few people and with many snags.
The scheme is only for healthcare workers in healthcare institutions who provided intensive care to Covid patients in the first corona wave (March to June 2020), when they themselves became ill and developed long Covid.
The scheme is not for supporting administrative and technical staff in healthcare or for healthcare employees who later contracted Covid and are still experiencing the consequences.
Twelve documents must be submitted with an application. These include an employer’s statement, an infection statement signed by the head of department at the time, and the medical examination report from the general practitioner. This can become problematic if the medical diagnosis of long Covid is not made until much later.
A UWV inspection certificate for the Wia disability benefit must also be submitted. This can be difficult because the UWV has long waiting lists for this inspection.
The FNV has difficulty with the strict registration procedure. “It is an unattainable administrative threshold. Documents are sometimes not available and there is too little time, which means that people are in danger of being unfairly left out,” says FNV director Kitty Jong.

If you have a cold, you can snore a lot during the night. And that is of course annoying for the brat in question, but it is also annoying for the partner next door. Who knows, you might even read this while you’re awake from the sound your sweetheart produces. And this is what your snoring companion and you can do about it, according to these two sleep coaches.
If you have a cold, you may suddenly start snoring as a non-snorer. Or that as a seasoned snorer you will snore even louder. Your nose is closed, your mucous membranes swell and you get less air: let the snoring concert begin. If you have a throat infection, it is your enlarged tonsils that are causing the nuisance. And so your partner often wakes up from the noise you make.
“Step one for the snorer is not to lie on your back,” says sleep coach Beitske Schoof from Goirle. Anyone who only snores when they have a cold or just always: back sleepers are more likely to snore loudly. “There are several solutions to make that sleeping position less pleasant.” There are special shirts with an air cushion on the back. You can of course also sew a tennis ball into your sleeping shirt, so that you can avoid lying down in such an uncomfortable way.
Does your partner just continue snoring? Then don’t poke. As tempting as that is. “Keep nudging someone when they snore is not very good for your relationship,” the sleep coach chuckles. Then you both get a little irritated. One due to lack of sleep, the other because he keeps being nudged awake. “Then it is better to find a solution together during the day, instead of arguing at four o’clock in the morning.”
Prevention is always better than cure. A nasal spray can help for a few hours, but you should not use it for too long or too often. And onions next to your bed are unfortunately a myth. They don’t help keep your nose open. “There are also special mouth patches that prevent you from sleeping with your mouth open,” Schoof tips. “They may look a bit intense, but they do their job. If you breathe through your nose, you snore less.”
If nothing really helps, you can do something yourself if you suffer from snoring. “Of course you can put in earplugs,” advises Lisanne Belissa, who is also a sleep coach. “But of course they don’t dampen everything.” If the sound is still too disturbing, you can also try turning on some rain sounds or ‘white noise’ in the background. “Then you mask the snoring with a monotonous sound. Some people can then suddenly sleep,” Schoof adds.
Another option is to go to bed earlier than your partner. Then you will sleep a little deeper and you may not notice the snoring. By the way, that only helps you fall asleep. “That doesn’t work if you sleep through the night. And people often wake up at night because of snoring,” says Belissa.
The best solution if you really want to refuel is to sleep separately for a night. Then you can both sleep and everyone is happy. It’s uncomfortable and not cozy, but it works.

The government is removing 225 million euros from the cuts in elderly care. This is evident from the budget of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS), which is in the hands of NRC. The amount is about half of what would actually be cut.
The House of Representatives declared the cuts and plans for elderly care controversial. Due to the fall of the cabinet, they are no longer treated. It remained unclear what should be done with the budget cuts of around 460 million in 2024. After all, VWS had the budget as good as ready.
The House of Representatives wanted clarity on this from outgoing minister Conny Helder (Long-term Care, VVD) in a debate on elderly care last Thursday. She could not provide that clarity because the budget of VWS, like that of the other ministries, will not be officially released until Tuesday, Budget Day. Until then, confidentiality applies.

Testing is no longer necessary, in fact: it is no longer possible at the GGD. It is allowed, but then you have to go to a commercial provider and pay for the test yourself. Antigen tests, i.e. the sticks that you put up your nose at home, can provide a solution if you want to know whether you have corona and, according to the RIVM, also work well for the new variants.
