B117 strain could result in 5,000 Covid hospitalizations in May

NL Times  

If the more contagious B117 strain of the coronavirus spreads quickly in the Netherlands, Dutch hospitals will be treating about 5 thousand Covid-19 patients at the beginning of May, according to calculations Jaap van Dissel of public health institute RIVM sent to parliament on Wednesday. At the beginning of January, Dutch hospitals were treating 2,800 coronavirus patients. In the coming weeks, the RIVM expects that number will drop further to less than 2 thousand hospitalized Covid-19 patients at the end of February. In March, the number of hospitalizations will pick up again as the B117 strain becomes the dominant coronavirus in the Netherlands, the RIVM expects.
