166 patients deceased, 625 new patients, a total of 14.697 confirmed cases

Since April 1, 1083 people have tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). This brings the total number of confirmed cases in the Netherlands to 14.697. Among them are 5784 people who are or were admitted to hospital.

Hospital admissions for 625 patients were reported today. 166 deaths were reported. Not all of the hospital admissions or deaths occurred within the last 24 hours.

The ‘coronavirus data’ report includes a graph showing the number of hospital admissions by reporting day and deaths per day of death. Due to delays in reporting, these figures may change per day.

It seems as though the initial effects of the measures can be seen. The number of patients admitted to hospital and the number of deceased patients reported in the Netherlands are increasing less rapidly than would have been expected without measures in place.

RIVM National Institute for Public Health and the Environment  is receiving information on the outbreak of the novel coronavirus from multiple sources. The daily data reports from the National Intensive Care Evaluation (NICE) Foundation are now also included in the reports on coronavirus data in the Netherlands (only in Dutch). These figures are updated constantly by the NICE Foundation. For that reason, the figures in this report have a slight delay compared to the real-time situation.

Since not all COVID-19 patients are tested, the actual numbers in the Netherlands are higher than the numbers stated here.
