The Netherlands: Dutch coronavirus figures are 'very bad', Rutte says. Weekend will be crucial
New coronavirus measures cannot be avoided in the Netherlands if there is no improvement in the number of new infections in the coming 24 to 72 hours, prime minister Mark Rutte told reporters after the weekly cabinet
conference on Friday.
The number of new coronavirus infections in the Netherlands continues to rise, with a further 5,983 cases registered with public health institute RIVM in the 24 hours to Friday morning.
Although the increase on Thursday’s total is 154, well down on the shock 800 increase between Wednesday and Thursday, Rutte said that officials need to see something ‘positive’ in the coming period. ‘I will want to know from experts what the weekend figures say.
The Netherlands now has one of the worst infection rates in Europe, and this has received widespread coverage in the foreign press.
The figures, Rutte said, are ‘very bad.’ ‘People are faced with not having the operation they expected, more people will die, are worried about jobs and loneliness… and that is because we are not taking the basic rules seriously,’ he said.
By Friday a further 69 people had been admitted to hospital, taking the total to 1,139, of whom 239 are in intensive care.

Coronavirus - Global Increase: Fears grow for the 'next million' as global COVID death toll reaches deadly milestone
The number of people who have died globally as a result of COVID-19
has reached the one million mark, a grim milestone that comes just nine
months after the disease first emerged in Wuhan, China.
Worldometer, which collects data from a number of official sources including governments, reported that the number of reported deaths worldwide surpassed 1 million on Monday morning.
Preventing another million from dying from the virus will only be possible if countries use all the tools available, experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday. This includes issuing physical distancing measures, mass testing and contact tracing.
If they fail to prevent coronavirus transmission, however, it's not only "imaginable" that there could be another one million dead but it's "likely," said Dr Mike Ryan, executive director of WHO's health emergencies programme.
