The number of patients with coronavirus in Dutch hospitals has fallen by 69 to 1,758 compared to the day before, 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, four more than the previous day.

There are now 1,633 coronavirus patients in the nursing wards, 73 less than a day earlier. In the past 24 hours, 186 new coronavirus patients were admitted to the nursing wards. Sixteen patients with coronavirus were brought into the ICUs.
