Compared to the day before, the number of patients with corona in Dutch hospitals has fallen by 69 to 1758, according to the latest figures from the National Coordination Center for Patients Spreading (LCPS) on Saturday. There are now 125 Covid patients in the intensive care units of hospitals in our country, 4 more than the previous day.
There are now 1,633 corona patients in the nursing wards, 73 less than a day earlier. In the past 24 hours, 186 new corona patients were admitted to the nursing wards. 16 patients with corona were brought in on the ICUs.
Some of the patients who tested positive for the coronavirus were initially admitted for a different reason. After a corona test it turns out that they are also positive. The LCPS makes no distinction in the daily hospital figures between patients admitted with or because of corona.
