The SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 disease is of pandemic proportions and reached the Netherlands on February 27 2020. Here we present the first Dutch cohort of 29 hospitalized patients during the first two weeks of the epidemic in the Netherlands. Demographic characteristics of patients, clinical presentation and course of disease up to the moment of analysis showed similarity with what has been described in Chinese and Italian literature. However the higher proportion of patients presenting with gastro-intestinal symptoms and the high number of patients with overweight and obesity stood out. Based on the experience in our hospital very early on in the epidemic COVID-19 impresses as a severe illness with risk of acute respiratory deterioration.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）病毒及冠状病毒病2019（COVID-19）已呈大流行态势，并于2020年2月27日蔓延至荷兰。在此，我们报告荷兰疫情最初两周内收治的首批29例住院患者队列情况。至分析时，患者的人口统计学特征、临床表现及病程与中国和意大利文献中所描述的情况相似。然而，出现胃肠道症状的患者比例较高，且超重和肥胖患者数量较多，颇为突出。基于我院在疫情早期的经验，COVID-19给人的印象是一种严重疾病，存在急性呼吸功能恶化风险。
