The Netherlands changed their testing strategy on the 1st of June, from only targeted testing of people in hospital and vital workers (care staff/teachers etc) to now offering testing to everyone who has symptoms which explains the sudden rise in the last few days. Their deaths and hospital admissions and number of people in IC have consistently declined and today there were 2 deaths, 4 new hospital admissions, 96 people in ICU and 239 new confirmed cases country wide.
