New coronavirus infections, hospital admissions decline
A total of 3,463 new coronavirus cases were reported to the public health institute RIVM in the 24 hours to Friday morning, below the average of 4,160 per day over the past week.
At the same time, fewer people were admitted to hospital – 68 compared with a weekly average of 86 – according to the government’s coronavirus dashboard.
Blood donation service Sanquin now says 93% of blood donors have coronavirus antibodies, most of which is down to vaccinations.
The figure is not representative of the population because blood donors tend to be older. In total, some 60% of Dutch adults are now fully vaccinated.
