Every day NU.nl provides an overview of the most recent figures on the development of the corona virus in the Netherlands. These are the figures that are now available (Sunday, March 28), brought together in six graphs.
1,300 fewer positive tests in the last 24 hours
Between Saturday morning and Sunday morning, 7,513 new corona cases were registered at the RIVM. That is more than 1,300 less compared to the previous day.
On Saturday, more than 8,800 new positive tests were made in the previous 24 hours, the highest number since the beginning of January.
RIVM has registered 51,153 positive tests in the past seven days. That equates to an average of 7,308 new cases per day.
The death of fifteen corona patients has been registered in the past 24 hours, fourteen less than on Saturday. Not all of these patients have died in the past 24 hours; there may be a delay between the reporting date and the date of death.
Since the outbreak began, more than 1.2 million people in the Netherlands have been tested positive. Almost 16,500 people are certain to have died from the corona virus.
The table below shows the average of the past seven days, as well as the number of reported infections per day.

There are currently 2,248 corona patients in Dutch hospitals, 10 more than Saturday.
The intensive care units (ICs) count a total of 655 patients, an increase of twelve in the past 24 hours. There are now 1,593 corona patients on the nursing wards, down from two in the past 24 hours.

Most deaths in age category 85 to 89 years
The elderly are relatively hard hit by the corona virus. 66 percent of the corona patients who died were older than eighty. More than 81 percent were 75 years or older.
Most corona patients who died (23.5 percent) were between 85 and 89 years old. According to the RIVM, one baby has died of COVID-19 so far. The child also suffered from other underlying medical conditions.
The infographic below shows the number of infections and the number of deaths per age group. Blue stands for infections and red for deaths.

More men than women died of the virus
RIVM receives more reports about men who died of COVID-19 than about female corona patients who died. Since 27 February, 8,837 men have died from the effects of the virus, compared to 7,502 women.
In contrast, women tested positive for the virus more often than men. RIVM reports 644,682 positive tests among women, while 568,593 men received a positive test result in the same time frame.
This difference may be partly due to the overrepresentation of women in care professions. At the start of the corona crisis, not everyone could be tested due to the limited testing capacity and it was mainly the health care personnel that were tested.
