Data show that less than 700 new patients have been hospitalized for six consecutive days. At the same time, the number of new infections diagnosed in the past week has been reduced by about one -fifth, and has fallen to less than 12,000 since the beginning of June.

There are 657 new coronary virus patients in the conventional care ward, 42 patients with severe care unit, with a total of 699. Compared with a week ago, this number dropped by 5%, but the total number of patients with severe care monitoring increased. Last week, a total of 33 patients were treated in the intensive care unit.

The total number of new crown virus infections in GGD reported to the lowest point since early June. As of Tuesday's 7 days, about 11,688 people were tested as positive. Compared with the 14,878 people in the previous 7 -day cycle, it decreased by 21%.

As the entire country is still in the holiday time, the detection numbers have also dropped sharply. In the past week, a test center of GGD received about 14135 testing, which was 27%decreased from 19,366 in the previous week. In the past two weeks, about two -thirds of the test results are positive.

Because self -test is encouraged, more reliable data should be sewage monitoring results. Compared with the last week of July, the new crown virus particles in the first week of August decreased by 24%. In early August, virus particles appeared most often in the Hague region and may now be transferred to the Amsterdam area.

Rivm said: "Omitron variant BA.5 has been observed the most, and the BA.4 variant has been discovered low." "Since June, BA.5 has been the main variant of the Dutch popularity." The degree of attention to the BA.2.75 variant discovered in July is limited. Rivm said: "This variant seems to be able to avoid immunization. But at present, this variant does not seem to increase rapidly, even in our neighbors."

The basic regeneration value (R value) remained at 0.81 for the second week. When the R value is lower than 1.00, the average number of new infections may decline per week.
