Regional health board officials have begun a mass testing programme in the Bible belt local authority area of Bunschoten in Utrecht province, in an effort to find out why it has such a high rate of coronavirus infection.
Bible belt towns dominate the list of places with the most infections per head of the population, and health experts suspect this may be because strict Protestant families tend to be larger.
Everyone of the age of six is being offered a test, whether or not they have symptoms. Bunschoten, which has four population centres, has around 21,000 residents.
