Spokesperson Joris Prinssen of the UMC Utrecht says that it is still quite busy in the hospitals. He sees the number of corona infections increasing, including among his own staff. “There is therefore concern about capacity,” he says, referring to absenteeism due to illness. “You know the pressure is persistently high.” Bonten also endorses this. “In the departments where there is a shortage, the increasing number of infections will lead to more shortages,” says the epidemiologist.
