COVID-19 death toll in Netherlands rises by 5 to reach 5,967
THE HAGUE, June 2,2020 (BSS/XINHUA) — The number of deaths from the novel
coronavirus in The Netherlands increased by five to a total of 5,967, the
National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) announced on
Tuesday.
The daily death toll remains stable for a few days, with six and five
reported deaths on Monday and Sunday respectively. Not all COVID-19 patients
are tested, so the actual numbers in the Netherlands are higher than the
numbers stated by the RIVM.
The number of persons testing positive for COVID-19 increased by 102 to a
total of 46,647.
