Ernst Kuipers, chairman of the National Acute Care Network, expects the number of hospital admissions to increase further in the coming days. The “sharp rise” is in line with previous predictions, he says.
“On the basis of the contamination figures, we expect the number of hospital admissions to increase further in the coming days. The ratio between the number of clinical and intensive care patients remains different than during the first peak.”
