The number of deaths from corona did not rise further last week

They still see that many more people die in a week than usual – most likely from the consequences of the coronavirus -, but this so-called excess mortality does not rise further.

700 more

3,630 people died, about the same as the week before, when 3,644 people died. That’s about 700 more than what is normal for this time of the year.


According to the figures of the RIVM, 358 and 409 people died from Covid-19 during those two weeks. The figures from Statistics Netherlands probably provide a better picture of the lethality of the virus, because a relatively large number of people who die from it have not been tested and therefore fall outside the weekly corona figures of the RIVM.
