New coronavirus cases continue to decline, ahead of key decision on rules Photo: DutchNews.nl A further, 4,494 positive coronavirus tests were reported to public health institute RIVM in the 24 hours to 10am, Sunday morning, in line with Saturday’s figure and well under the average of 5,479 per day over the past seven days. The reduction is a drop of 27% compared with a week ago, although the holidays and the rise of self tests and commercial testing centres may also have an impact on the number of regional health board tests being taken. Nevertheless, the drop means that the number of daily infections is back at the level of two months ago and the RIVM expects the current trend to continue. ‘We are well placed up to the summer,’ RIVM statistician Jaco Wallinga told broadcaster NOS on Saturday.
