Death rate
These figures show how many COVID-19 patients were reported to have died. This gives us an idea of the impact of the virus. The actual number of deceased patients may be higher because not all people who are infected with corona get tested. Also, there is no strict obligation to report deaths from coronavirus.

COVID-19 deaths by age
The blue bars on the right of this graph show the age distribution of people who have died with 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. The graph is updated daily and includes all deaths since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please note that RIVM does not specify the age distribution for those aged under 50 to prevent traceability to individuals.
The bars on the right of this graph show the age distribution of people who have died with COVID 19. The bars on the left show how large each age group is in relation to the entire Dutch population. Taken together, both bars together show whether there are proportionately more or fewer COVID-19 deaths in each age group. Use the keyboard to navigate through the time in the graph.

Excess mortality
Statistics Netherlands (CBS) publishes data on the total number of deaths and compares this to the predicted number of deaths. 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 Municipal Health Services (in Dutch: GGD) because not everyone who dies from corona has been tested for it.

Total number of deaths per week
This graph shows whether the number of deaths in a given week is higher or lower than expected. The dark blue line shows the number of deaths per week since 16 March 2020. The light blue line and the shaded area show the number of deaths predicted by Statistics Netherlands based on the number of people who died in each given week in previous years.
This graph shows whether the number of deaths in a given week is higher or lower than expected. The line ‘Actual mortality’ shows the number of deaths per week since 16 March 2020. The line ‘Predected mortality’and the area around the line show the number of deaths predicted by Statistics Netherlands based on the number of people who died in each given week in previous years. Use the keyboard to navigate through the time in the graph. With the left and right arrow keys you can move backwards and forwards in time.

Deaths attributed to COVID 19, according to CBS
The national office Statistics Netherlands (CBS) analyses causes of death in the Netherlands. One cause of death is COVID 19. Every quarter CBS publishes data on the causes of death from the last known month; these figures are published approximately three months later. Alongside these data, CBS reports the number of deaths attributed to COVID 19 since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
The following article explains how these CBS figures are calculated and why they differ from the figures on this dashboard. Read What is the COVID-19 mortality rate based on cause of death?
