Almost two months ago, two Dutch people were diagnosed with the MERS coronavirus. After repeated tests, experts of RIVM, Erasmus Medical Centre, Haaglanden Medical Centre, Haaglanden Municipal Health Service, the Isala hospital in Zwolle, and IJsselland Municipal Health Service have concluded that no new cases have since been found in the Netherlands. They recently joined forces to deal with the examination, diagnostics and policy concerning the two MERS patients in the Netherlands. Six other Municipal Health Services contributed substantially in the monitoring of the patients’ contacts.
