This article explains how it’s possible that a region’s risk level is not the level you’d expect based on the figures.

Is this really the correct risk level for my region?

Roughly three-fourths of all coronavirus test results come from these test centres. What do these figures say?

What do the figures of the GGD test locations say?

The dashboard contains a lot of information. What should you know about positive tests?

Positive tests: the spread of the virus

Last week, 20% more people were tested. The number of positive test results increased by 7%, the R number rose above 1.

Reproduction number above 1

Coronavirus does not affect everyone to the same extent. Elderly people die more often than young people.

The CoronaMelder app has been developed to help fight the spread of coronavirus. The app keeps track of when users have been within close range of one another for a longer period of time. If a CoronaMelder user tests positive for COVID-19, they can choose to alert other app users. App users who get an alert can then get tested and avoid unknowingly infecting others.

Read more about the CoronaMelder app in the explanation of the presented data.

Use of the CoronaMelder app

Researchers are closely monitoring the CoronaMelder app’s impact. Read the most recent factsheet about this on the CoronaMelder website.

This figure shows how many CoronaMelder users who tested positive alerted other app users of this yesterday.

The blue bars on the right of this graph show the age distribution of people who have died from COVID 19. The grey bars on the left show how large each age group is in relation to the entire Dutch population. Taken together, the blue and grey bars show whether there are proportionately more or fewer COVID-19 deaths in each age group. If, for example, the graph shows that people in their sixties represent 12% of the Dutch population (grey bar) and that this same group represents 10% of the people in the Netherlands who have died from COVID-19 (blue bar), that means there are proportionately fewer deaths from COVID-19 among people in their sixties. The graph is updated daily and includes all deaths since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please note that RIVM groups COVID-19 deaths among people younger than 50 together; the low numbers could otherwise be traceable back to individual people.

These figures show the number of COVID-19 patients in this municipality reported dead to the GGD yesterday. The actual number of COVID-19 patients that died may be higher because not all people with COVID-19 get tested and there is no requirement for reporting deaths due to COVID-19.

This figure shows the number of COVID-19 patients in this municipality reported dead to the GGD, per day. It includes late reports of deaths that occurred in the preceding days.

{{value}} hospital admissions per day. Alert value: {{signaalwaarde}} admissions per day.

This graph shows hospital admissions, including admissions directly to ICU. The figure for each day indicates the number of people actually admitted on that day, not the number of admissions reported on that day. This gives a clear picture of the development of coronavirus in the Netherlands. There are often reporting delays of a few days for hospital admissions; data for the most recent days is therefore incomplete.

The Coronavirus Dashboard provides information on the development of the coronavirus in the Netherlands.

This graph shows the progression of the number of ICU beds occupied by COVID-19 patients. The data before the 1st of June is less reliable due to setting up the registration by LCPS.

ICU bed occupancy over time

This number shows how many ICU beds are occupied by COVID-19 patients. The percentage shows what proportion of all occupied ICU beds this is. This is unrelated to maximum ICU capacity.

The blue (right) bars in this graph show which age group positive tested persons belong to. The gray (left) bars show how large each age group is in relation to the entire Dutch population. The blue and gray bars together show whether age groups have relatively more or less positive tested persons. For example: 16% of all positive tested persons are in their twenties (blue bar) and 13% of all Dutch people are in their twenties (gray bar). In this example, the age group twenties has relatively more positive tested people. The chart is updated daily and covers only the most recently reported cases.

What does this mean?

Progression over time

The RIVM monitors the spread of infectious diseases in many ways. This is also the case for COVID-19. One of these ways is to look at persons exhibiting symptoms that could indicate an infection. The RIVM does this with the Infectieradar.

Everyone in the Netherlands can take part in the Infectieradar. Participants self-report once a week if they have (had) a fever or other symptoms. Even if participants don't have any symptoms they pass this on to us. This way, signals of an increase or decrease in the spread of the virus are picked up earlier.

When someone is infected with COVID-19, the municipal health service (GGD) tries to find out where they got it from and who they recently had contact with. The purpose is to discover whether the virus has also been transmitted to any other people.

Contact tracing by the municipal public health service (GGD)

Care professionals with COVID-19 can infect their patients, so monitoring care professionals’ health can help contain the spread of the disease. This means keeping track of the number of care professionals who are infected with coronavirus and the number who report ill. This data also helps the healthcare system cope with increases in workload.

Sentinel surveillance (care professionals)

Data on the movement of people can indicate how the coronavirus is spreading. The aim is to show this per municipality.

The compliance monitor provides insight into the degree to which people are able to follow the coronavirus measures.

RIVM routinely collects data from behavioural studies that shed light on trends in compliance with and support for the basic rules that apply, like washing hands, staying home and getting tested if you have symptoms.

We aim to expand the dashboard in the future with the following data:

Mortality in week 8 lower than expected

This graph shows the total number of deaths per week. The actual number of deaths is compared to the number of deaths predicted based on the figures from preceding years. The light blue line, drawn within its range of uncertainty, shows the number of deaths predicted over the year. The dark blue line shows the number of actual deaths.

Total number of deaths per week

Every week the national office Statistics Netherlands (CBS) publishes data on the total number of deaths and compares this to the predicted number of deaths, corrected for extreme temperatures, epidemics, etc. If more deaths occur than predicted, these are considered excess deaths. This graph may show a more complete picture of COVID-19 related deaths than the numbers reported by the GGD because not everyone who dies from COVID-19 has been tested for it.

Mortality monitor

Het Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (CBS) publiceert wekelijks het totaal aantal overleden mensen in Nederland en vergelijkt dit aantal met het verwacht aantal overlijdens gecorrigeerd voor koude- of hittegolven, uitbraken en epidemieën. Er is sprake van oversterfte indien meer mensen overlijden dan verwacht. Deze grafiek geeft mogelijk een completer beeld van sterfte door COVID-19 dan de door de GGD’en gemelde COVID-19 sterfte, omdat niet alle mensen die overlijden aan COVID-19 getest zijn op COVID-19.
