Positive tests

To keep track of the development and spread of the virus, we first show the self-reported positive tests from Infectieradar (RIVM). This gives more insight especially after the release of the advice on (self) testing and the closure of the GGD test lanes. You can read more about Infectieradar at Coronadashboard data explained.

Last values obtained on Friday, 24 March 2023. Is updated on Tuesday and Friday.
