RIVM reported 1146 new corona infections on Saturday. It is the first time in more than two weeks that the number of new daily infections has exceeded 1000. On June 17, there were 1061 new infections.
The number of positive tests is more than twice as high as last Saturday, when RIVM reported 556 new infections.
It is the fourth consecutive day that the number of infections has risen. On Friday, the daily figure had already risen to 952 (after correction). The number of average infections over the last seven days is now 740, compared to 651 last Saturday.
Amsterdam
Amsterdam had the most positive tests. 89 infections were detected in the capital. In Rotterdam, 77 people tested positive. There were 52 in Enschede, as well as in Groningen. 33 new infections were registered in Breda on Saturday.
RIVM reported one death on Saturday, in Enschede. On Friday there were seven, the highest number in a month. It does not mean that those people had died in the 24 hours before, because it can sometimes take a while before the death of a corona patient is registered.
