In week 21 (24 to 30 May 2021 inclusive), the estimated number of deaths stood at slightly over 2,700. This is approximately 50 lower than expected for this period and approximately 250 lower than in the previous week (2,959). Just as in week 20, there were fewer deaths among people under 80 in particular. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this based on the latest provisional weekly mortality figures.

From mid-September (week 39) up to and including mid-February (week 6), weekly mortality was higher than expected. There was excess mortality until mid-January (week 3). In the following weeks, mortality was not elevated and fluctuated around the expected numbers for that period. In the last week of April (week 17), there was a short period of excess mortality, but since then mortality has continued to decline. The estimate for week 21 is around 50 deaths below the expected number and within the range of usual fluctuations (this means there is no undermortality based on the estimate). The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) registered 48 COVID-19 deaths in week 21 (as at 1 June).

* Provisional figures. Week 21 in 2021 is an estimate.

Mortality among long-term care users and the rest of the population lower than expected

Based on the estimate, mortality remained roughly the same among people receiving care under the Long-term Care Act (Wlz) in week 21. Since the last week of February (week 8), mortality in this group has been below the expected level. The number of deaths among the rest of the population fell sharply in week 21, based on the estimate, and was just below the expected level. From the first week of April (week 14) until week 20, there was excess mortality in this group. In week 21, 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 1,750 deaths were recorded.

* Provisional figures. Week 21 in 2021 is an estimate.

Mortality in all age groups at or below the expected level

In week 21, mortality declined in all age groups, based on the estimate. Mortality among people aged 80 and over was just below the expected level in week 21. An estimated slightly more than 1,500 deaths were recorded among the over-80s. Since the second week of February (week 6), mortality in this age group has been below the expected level.

Mortality among people aged 65 to 79 years showed an upward trend from the first week of March (week 9), with a decline starting in the last week of April (week 17). From the end of March (week 13) up to and including week 20, there was excess mortality in this age group. Based on the estimate, there was no excess mortality anymore in week 21; the number of deaths was even slightly lower than expected. There were slightly fewer than 850 deaths among people aged 65 to 79 in that week.

Among people under the age of 65, there was excess mortality between the start of April (week 14) and the start of May (week 18). Mortality declined after that. Based on the estimate, mortality in week 21 was virtually equal to the expected mortality. There were 375 deaths among people under 65.

* Provisional figures. Week 21 in 2021 is an estimate.

COVID-19 mortality known up to February 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 February 2021. According to these figures, 27,056 thousand people died of COVID-19 between March 2020 and February 2021, as published by CBS on 3 June. Excess mortality during the first wave and during the first nineteen weeks of the second wave is entirely attributable to mortality from the novel coronavirus.

Data sources for RIVM

To date, RIVM has registered 17,631 COVID-19 deaths. These include 15,819 recorded until February 2021 inclusive (as at 1 June 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 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 21

The figures for week 21 are estimates, based on 84 percent of the overall number of death records to be received by CBS. CBS will publish provisional weekly mortality figures for week 21 on Friday 11 June. The figures will be more complete by then.
