More men than women died of the virus
RIVM receives more reports about men who have died from the consequences of the corona virus than about women with COVID-19 who have died. Since February 27, 2020, 9,222 men have died from the effects of the virus, compared to 7,743 women. These figures are updated weekly.
Women tested positive for the virus more often than men. The RIVM reports 746,647 positive tests among women, while 671,035 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.
