The latest count of coronavirus cases in the Netherlands has been published by the RIVM.
As of today, there are now 335 more cases of coronavirus, bringing the total to 40,571 cases.
In regards to hospitalizations, there are 44 more patients in hospitals, bringing the total to 10,995.
There have been unfortunately 69 more deaths since last count, bringing the number of deaths to 5,056.
As you’re probably aware by now, these numbers may not be totally accurate, as deaths and hospitalisations are not always reported on the day they take place. Each Tuesday, the tally for the week before becomes accurate.
