Although many people have been vaccinated, the lowest possible infection rate is still welcome, says Van den Hof. “We know that respiratory viruses spread more easily in the autumn.” A higher infection rate now also has consequences in the autumn.
Until 10:00 this morning, 2358 new corona infections were reported on Tuesday. That is more than Tuesday a week ago.
Spread
The R-number is rising: on July 26 it was still 0.79, a week later it was 0.92. That means that 100 people together infect 92 others. If the R remains below 1, the spread of the virus decreases.
