AMSTERDAM, Oct 22 (Reuters) - The number of coronavirus infections in the Netherlands climbed by more than 9,000 in 24 hours, a new record, data released by the National Institute for Public Health (RIVM) on Thursday showed.
The RIVM registered 9,271 new COVID-19 cases in one of Europe’s second-wave hotspots, roughly a week after the government imposed “partial lockdown” measures including the closure of bars and restaurants. (Reporting by Anthony Deutsch; Editing by Mark Potter)
