RIVM reports fewer deaths (122) and hospital admissions (210) than the previous week | NOW

In the daily update, the National Institute of Public Health and Environment (RIVM) reports 122 new deaths from the coronavirus in the daily update. That number is much smaller than a week earlier (234), but this may have to do with the fact that we come from an Easter weekend.

So far, the number of reports was the highest on Tuesday. According to the RIVM, this is because many deaths and hospital admissions from Friday, Saturday and Sunday to Monday were processed in the administration.

However, Monday was also Easter Monday, so the peak may change to Wednesday of this week.

On Tuesday, RIVM reports that another 210 crown patients have been hospitalized. Compared to last Tuesday (292), there are also much less. The number of hospital admissions has declined steadily since the beginning of this month. According to RIVM, this indicates that the crown measurements are working.

Figures from the Central Statistical Office (CBS) also showed last week that the total number of deaths may be double what RIVM has reported so far.

81 percent of infected healthcare workers are women

In addition, a total of 27,419 (+868) people tested positive for the coronavirus. The actual number of infections is higher because not all crown patients can be tested. This primarily concerns health care employees (28 percent), hospital patients, nursing home or nursing home residents, and other vulnerable people.

Of all infected healthcare workers, 81 percent are women and half are under the age of 45. This male-female relationship is different from that of the other COVID-19 patients (approximately fifty to fifty).

More men than women die from COVID-19 and more male than female crown patients are admitted to the hospital. In both cases, almost two thirds are men.
