Question on Deaths registered weekly, by sex and age

Aangevraagde data:

We are currently working in an excess mortality project related to the Covid-19 emergency moment we are now and besides other countries we are using Dutch weekly data on deaths, that is, the Deaths registered weekly, by sex and age. I have a couples questions regarding to this data: - Does this dataset refer to the week of the death event (death occurrence date) or to the death register day? - How are weeks assembled? Beginning on Mondays/Sundays/another day? - Regarding to the number of days that are include the first and last of the year, I assume that they just include the ones on the year, even if that is less than 7 days. Is that correct? - what is the population that are counted in these statistics: just resident population, anyone dying in the Netherland regardless of him/her being resident (i.e. visitors from other countries?

- Does this dataset refer to the week of the death event (death occurrence date) or to the death register day? The week refers to the death event (death occurrence date). - How are weeks assembled? Beginning on Mondays/Sundays/another day? Monday to Sunday (ISO week date) - Regarding to the number of days that are include the first and last of the year, I assume that they just include the ones on the year, even if that is less than 7 days. Is that correct? All data per week corresponds to the specific year. For instance, 2020 started on a Wednesday. Until Sunday this is five days. Monday and Tuesday belong to 2019 and are there included as the last (incomplete) week (week 53). You can combine them of course to have a complete week. In table information (I) https://opendata.cbs.nl/statline/#/CBS/en/dataset/70895ENG/table?dl=353AF you can read; Population The total number of people residing in a given area. Only persons recorded in the population register of a Dutch municipality are included in the population. In principle, every person who lives in the Netherlands for an indefinite period is included in the population register of the municipality. Persons belonging to the population of the Netherlands for whom no permanent place of residence can be designated, are included in the population register of the municipality of The Hague. The population registers do not include the persons living in the Netherlands to whom exemption rules apply with regard to inclusion in the population registers (for example diplomats and NATO military personnel) and persons without legal residence in the Netherlands.
