In Amsterdam, 423 infections were diagnosed last 24 hours. 330 cases came to light in Rotterdam and The Hague had 177 positively tested persons. This is followed by Utrecht (129 positive tests) and Eindhoven (109).
The virus has been diagnosed in nearly 39,000 people in the past seven days. That is considerably less than the week before, when the number of infections rose by more than 56,000. Just a week earlier, almost 69,000 new cases were added.
The number of deaths rose by 54 last 24 hours. Amsterdam registered that twelve residents died from the virus. That’s not to say that all of these people died in the last 24 hours. Such information is sometimes passed on with some delay. 89 deaths were reported between Wednesday morning and Thursday morning.
The virus has been diagnosed in 436,000 people since the outbreak began. If the pace of the number of positive tests continues, the half-millionth case can be registered in the Netherlands before the end of the month.
