In week 15 (12 to 18 April inclusive), the estimated number of deaths stood at slightly less than 3,200. This is nearly 200 more than expected for this period and slightly more than in the previous week (3,132). Mortality was higher than expected among people aged 65 to 79 in particular. There was also excess mortality was among people under 65. Mortality among long-term care users was again below the expected level. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this based on the provisional weekly mortality figures.

From week 39 of 2020 to week 6 of 2021, weekly mortality was higher than expected. There was excess mortality until week 3. In the following weeks, mortality was not elevated and fluctuated around the expected numbers for that period. The estimate for week 15 is almost 200 deaths above the expected number, but is still just within the range of usual fluctuations (and is therefore not classified as excess mortality). The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) registered 126 COVID-19 deaths in week 15 (as at 20 April).

* Provisional figures. Week 15 in 2021 is an estimate.

Mortality among long-term care users below expected level

In week 15, the number of deaths among people receiving care under the Long-term Care Act (Wlz) remained roughly the same; since week 8, it has been below the expected level. There were over 100 fewer deaths among long-term care recipients than expected. Mortality among the rest of the population has increased in the past three weeks and is now above the expected level. In week 14 and in the estimate for week 15, there is even excess mortality: the estimated number of deaths is higher than the expectation interval (the light green area in the chart).

In week 15, there were nearly 1,000 deaths among long-term care users, including residents of nursing homes and institutions for the disabled. Among the rest of the population, approximately 2,200 deaths were recorded.

* Provisional figures. Week 15 in 2021 is an estimate.

COVID-19 mortality known up to December inclusive

The figures on (excess) mortality are based on daily reports on the number of deaths received by CBS. These reports do not contain any information about the cause of death. CBS receives such information at a later stage via a death cause certificate. The cause of death is known for all deceased up to and including December 2020. According to these figures, slightly over 20 thousand people died of COVID-19 between March and December 2020, as published by CBS on 7 April. Excess mortality during the first wave and during the first fifteen weeks of the second wave is entirely attributable to mortality from the novel coronavirus.

Data sources for RIVM

To date, RIVM has registered 16,964 COVID-19 deaths. These include 11,929 recorded until December 2020 inclusive (as at 20 April 2021). RIVM receives data on confirmed COVID-19 deaths from municipal health services (GGD) around the country on a daily basis. The actual COVID-19-related death count in the Netherlands is likely to turn out higher because of the following reasons: it is possible that not all people with COVID-19 have themselves tested, there is no reporting obligation for COVID-19 and registration sometimes takes a little longer.

Estimate for week 15

The figures for week 15 are estimates, based on 83 percent of the overall number of death records to be received by CBS. CBS will publish provisional weekly mortality figures for week 15 on Friday 30 April. The figures will be more complete by then.

There will be no news release on weekly mortality on 30 April 2021 because of King’s Day. Due to a shift in delivery of death records, as commonly occurs around public holidays, an estimate will not be available for week 16 on 30 April. The news release on 7 May will contain the provisional figures up to and including week 16. It will not include an estimate for week 17 because that week also has a public holiday.
