About 9,000 more people died than usual during the first wave of the coronavirus epidemic
About 162,000 people have died in the Netherlands this year. Which is the country’s highest year-long death record since WWII. The Netherlands National Bureau of Statistics (CBS) released the data on Tuesday.
According to CBS, some 162,000 people have died this year in the Netherlands, a country of 16 million people. This year, 13,000 more people have died than the average number of deaths per year. The agency cited the coronavirus as the cause of the surge in deaths this year. The death toll has never risen so much since World War II, reports CBS.
The first wave of the coronavirus epidemic from early March to early May killed nearly 9,000 more people than usual, according to the CBS report. The second wave of epidemics, which began in mid-September, killed another 6,000 people.
According to a Reuters report, the number of Covid-19 cases identified in the Netherlands so far is 7,80,400. More than 11,000 people have died. However, the CBS report suggests that both the actual victim and the actual death are more than that.
Due to the lack of diagnostic materials and laboratories, only critically ill patients have the opportunity to be tested in the early stages of the epidemic.
