The weekly report from the RIVM (National Institute for Public Health and Environment) reveals that, since the last update, another 432 people in the Netherlands have tested positive for COVID-19, the illness that is caused by the new coronavirus. This means that the new total of infected people is 50.694.
Of the 50.694 people infected, another 19 people have died since last Tuesday*, June 30, bringing the death toll to 6.132. In total, 11.886 (+9) patients have been admitted to hospital. As not all people are getting tested, the true number of people infected with the new coronavirus is higher than reported.
*There may be a delay between the day of death and the day that it is reported.
