Health Minister Sophie Hermans (VVD) is advising people to sleep under a mosquito net if they have one to avoid the West Nile infection, which has recently taken the life of a 78-year-old Utrecht man.
Nine more infections were reported last week, and the death toll rose to three, according to RTV Utrecht. Those who died were reportedly elderly people with already existing health complications, Hermans said.
