Hospitals must get ready for Covid overload the next few months: RIVM

NL Times  

Dutch hospitals need to be ready if there is a sharp rise of coronavirus cases, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Control Jaap van Dissel and RIVM chief modeler Jacco Wallinga said in an interview with NOS. Van Dissel said the OMT did not see enough reason currently to impose stricter measures. The expected peak is still far enough in the future to leave enough time to adjust the measures in case coronavirus cases increase sharply, according to the expert. "We are not in a rush because the Covid-19 vaccines still efficiently prevent hospital admissions," Van Dissel said.
