In the past seven days, the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) received 46,673 reports of positive tests. That equates to an average of 6,668 confirmed infections per day. The weekly average was not that low for the past fourteen days, which may be caused by the outage. The number of infections on Saturday has been adjusted to 5,819, these figures are also lower due to the outage.
Amsterdam had the most positive tests with 381. Rotterdam follows, there 266 residents were told that they had contracted the corona virus. 193 infections were diagnosed in The Hague and 124 in Nijmegen.
The number of deaths reported in the past 24 hours was three. Deaths are sometimes passed on after a while. In the past seven days, RIVM registered 123 deaths, which equates to almost 18 per day.
