Currently, there are daily updates about new Corona cases, number of deaths, but also precautions and measurements. However, we noticed that most of the communication is in Dutch, whereas there is a large population of non-Dutch speaking citizens. Therefore, we have built this web application that collects the news from different sources (RIVM, Dutch government, etc.), but also provides you with stats regarding Corona cases in Netherlands.

Total cases (Postive tested, hospitalized, deaths)

The actual number of infections with the coronavirus is higher than the numbers shown here. This is because not everyone can be tested for the virus

There could also be a differnce between the actual number of reported cases, deaths and hospital admissions because there is sometimes a delay in day of reporting.
