At the peak of the pandemic in April 2020, some 1,400 people were under observation in the intensive care unit and regular hospital visits were canceled as medical staff struggled to cope.
By the end of May, the number of COVID-19 patients on the wards had dropped to 100. Currently, 63 residents were being treated for coronavirus on the regular ward, double the number in early August.
According to experts, this may be due to the appearance of a new variant of the virus. The percentage of coronavirus particles in wastewater has increased steadily since the beginning of July, according to DutchNews.com.
