The first corona infected person in the Netherlands is a fact. The patient in Tilburg recently visited the Italian region of Lombardy, he’s now in quarantine.

It’s a man who is now in isolation at the TweeSteden Hospital in Tilburg. The Health Institute RIVM and Minister Bruno Bruins (Medical Care) have announced this first diagnosis of the coronavirus in the Netherlands.

Don’t despair, it’s just one person, and the Netherlands is well prepared for the COVID-19 virus.

We’ll keep you updated on this as the story develops.

Abuzer founded DutchReview a decade ago because he thought expats needed it and wanted to make amends for the Dutch cuisine. He has a Masters in Political Science and IT but somewhere always wanted to study history or good old football. He also a mortgage in the Netherlands and will happily tell you too how to get one. Born and raised in Rotterdam, Abuzer now lives in Leiden but is always longing back to his own international year in Italy.
