Many young people have been infected with the corona virus. The number of positive tests in that group has been high in any case lately, but has increased particularly rapidly in the past week. This emerges from the weekly figures of the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM).
There have been a total of 439,775 positive tests in the last seven days
registered. Among them are 60,738 people aged 20 to 24
years old. That is 104 percent more than a week earlier, so more than a
doubling. In addition, more than 56,000 25 to 29-year-olds tested
positive, an increase of 101 percent. Among 15 to 19 year olds, the number of cases rose by 102 percent.
