Nine patients deceased, 292 new patients, in total 1705 persons tested positive
Since yesterday, 292 people have tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. This brings the total number of positive tested people to 1705. Among them are 389 people working in health care; they are tested more often than other groups.
Nineteen patients have died from COVID-19 since the last update. The number of fatalities in the Netherlands is now 43. The age of the deceased is between 63 and 94 years. Earlier we reported that the youngest deceased was 59 years, this was due to an administrative error. A total of 314 patients are or have been admitted to a hospital.
Most of the positive tested people live in the province of Noord- Brabant, namely 634 people. Noord-Brabant is followed by Limburg (197) and South Holland (175).
New map
As of today, the distribution of the number of positive tested people in the Netherlands is shown with an incidence map. The coloured areas, therefore, do not represent the total number of positively tested people, but the number per 100,000 inhabitants.
