context_page_description: The COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands is part of the ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The virus was confirmed to have spread to the Netherlands on 27 February 2020, when its first COVID-19 case was confirmed in Tilburg. It involved a 56-year-old Dutchman who had arrived in the Netherlands from Italy, where the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to enter Europe. As of the 7th of August, there are 56,982 confirmed cases of infections and 6,153 confirmed deaths. The first death occurred on 6 March, when an 86-year-old patient died in Rotterdam.
  Partly on the advice of Jaap van Dissel, measures were taken by the Rutte III cabinet for the public health to prevent the spread of this viral disease, including the "intelligent lockdown".
