Exactly one week ago there were almost 6400 positive tests. The Friday before that, there were more than 11,000 new cases.
In the past seven days, RIVM registered just over 29,000 positive tests. That equates to an average of 4160 new cases per day. The average falls for the eleventh day in a row.
Amsterdam again had the most new cases. In the capital, 226 residents were told that they had contracted the virus. For Amsterdam, that is the lowest number since July 4. 192 infections were confirmed in Rotterdam and 121 positive tests in The Hague. Almere will follow with 93 new corona cases. Both Utrecht and Tilburg registered 63 positive tests. In eighteen municipalities, no one turned out to have been infected at all.
The number of deaths from corona rose by six. It concerns two people from Weesp and also residents of Rotterdam, Voorst, Langedijk and Harlingen. Just because their deaths are now registered doesn’t mean they died from the virus in the past 24 hours. It sometimes takes a while for a death to be registered.
In the past seven days, RIVM received 29 reports of deaths, an average of just over four a day. That is the highest number since mid-June.
Since the start of the outbreak, almost a year and a half ago, 1.86 million people have tested positive. Almost 17,800 people are certain to have died from the virus. The actual numbers are higher.
