The death toll from coronavirus in the Netherlands has crossed the 3,700 mark, authorities said Monday.

With 67 more fatalities, the death toll is up to 3,751, according to the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment (RIVM).

Meanwhile, the tally of cases has climbed to 33,405, with 750 new cases,

Currently, 9,779 patients are under treatment at hospitals, with 75 more admissions reported on Monday.

“Since not all COVID-19 patients are tested, the actual numbers in the Netherlands are higher than the numbers stated in the report,” the RIVM added.

Globally, the virus has spread to 185 countries and regions, infecting nearly 2.42 million people, and killing over 166,000 worldwide since it first emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year. More than 635,400 people have recovered.
