This file contains:
— The total number of Covid @-@ 19 tests taken by the GGDs for which the results are known and the number of positive tests per day
by safety region of registration of the tested person, by date of the test appointment.
The numbers concern decreased Covid-19 tests, from the extension of the testing policy in the Netherlands on 1 June 2020 to 2 days ago. Due to missing test-identifying data, tests that were mistakenly doubled could not be dedoubled. Tests for which the results were not yet known will be included in the statistics at a later stage. This allows the numbers to change slightly.
The file is structured as follows:
— A set of records per date of the test appointment, with for each date:
—A record per security region, even if there are no reports for the relevant security region. The numbers are then 0 (zero).

Version 2 update (10 August 2021):
