LIVE | Infections on the rise: more than 400 corona patients in hospital | Inland

The number of corona patients in hospital has risen to over four hundred. It is the first time since June 10 that the number of patients admitted exceeds that limit. In a week, the number of corona patients in hospitals has almost doubled.

Ernst Kuipers, chairman of the National Acute Care Network, expects the number of patients to continue to rise in the coming week. “In order to distribute the pressure evenly, the patients are distributed in the busy regions.”

Illness cases and positive tests

The number of corona infections has increased by 2,223 in the past day. For the first time, the number of reported positive tests in 24 hours has exceeded 2000. On Sunday, the government’s corona dashboard reported 1,849 new cases. In addition, the health services registered 26 new hospital admissions and two deaths.

A total of 410 corona patients are now in hospitals. On Sunday there were 353. The number of patients admitted rose by 57 in the past 24 hours. This is the largest increase in one day since mid-March. There are now 325 people with the corona virus in the nursing wards. That is 49 more than on Sunday. The number of patients in intensive care increased from 77 to 85.

Just one week ago, on September 14, hospitals treated 209 people for corona infection: 166 corona patients in a nursing unit and 43 in an intensive care unit.
