The country’s death toll has risen to 3,315, an increase of 181 in the past 24 hours.

The statement warned about the coronavirus cases in nursing home and said: “It is estimated that about one-third of nursing homes in the Netherlands have at least one patient with COVID-19. Over the past few days, we have not seen many new nursing homes with COVID-19 patients added to the list. However, we do see the spread of COVID-19 within nursing homes.”

“More deaths have been recorded in recent weeks than the average reported for this period. This applies in particular to mortality among people living in institutional households, such as nursing homes and care homes, mental health institutions, residential institutions for the disabled, prisons, and residential centers for asylum-seekers,” it noted.
