The Netherlands reported 3,011 new coronavirus cases on Tuesday, a daily record, as it imposed new measures to combat a second wave of infections, data published by the National Institute for Health (RIVM) showed.

"The number of cases rose sharply in almost all regions and in all age groups," the Institute said.
