“Since yesterday, 60 new patients have been reported…this brings the total number of positively tested patients to 188, of which 1 patient died,” the statement outlined, confirming that while most patients remain in self-isolation, 24 have been hospitalized.
According to the Dutch health authority, most newly identified patients were registered in the southern province of North Brabant.
“The investigation into the spread of the virus in North Brabant has since started…if you have a cold, are you coughing or have a fever: stay at home and limit your social contacts,” the statement urged.

Additionally, 47 patients contracted the virus through contact with a previously diagnosed patient.
Investigations are underway to determine how the remaining 29 patients contracted the virus.
