This is apparent from the latest weekly figures, which the RIVM has just published. Nearly 20 percent fewer people reported to the GGD last week than a week earlier. The number of positive tests fell slightly more, by 22 percent from 22,688 to 17,623 per week. The number of people reporting complaints in the RIVM’s Infection Radar also decreased. The reproduction number was between 0.85 and 0.97 on October 11, the most recent date for which it could be calculated. This indicates that fewer people are infected each day than the day before.
In hospitals, the number of admissions did not decrease, but remained more or less stable. In intensive care, the number of patients with corona is still very low compared to the waves of 2020, 2021 and last winter. 55 people are now lying there because of the corona virus, according to figures from the National Coordination Center for Patients Spreading (LCPS).
