Again meanwhile in the Netherlands; 265 confirmed cases of COVID-19, of which 38 were hospitalized. The remainder is in home isolation. There is a total of 3 deaths, all male, all in their 80's and all with severe preexisting medical issues.
Major origins of the disease in the Netherlands appears to be people returning from holidays (a third of the patients, and in particular returnees from northern Italy which is a heavily hit region) and from transmission by patients celebrating carnival here in the Netherlands several weeks ago, which is why we're seeing a lot of cases in Brabant (south of the rivers and historically catholic).
