Three more corona deaths; RIVM to move to weekly reports

Dutch News  

Six more people have been admitted to hospital and another three have died, taking the Dutch total corona death toll to 6,103, according to public health institute the RIVM. However, the infection rate has now fallen dramatically, leading prime minister Mark Rutte to announce a new round of relaxation in the rules earlier this week. The infection rate is now considered so low that Rutte has given his last corona press conference for the moment and the RIVM will move next week to announcing figures weekly rather than daily. A demonstration from the group ‘Viruswaanzin’ planned for Sunday in The Hague has meanwhile been banned, reports NOS, after a previous protest saw 400 arrests.
