Dutch health minister, Bruno Bruins on Wednesday collapsed in the parliament because of ‘fatigue from intense weeks’ of working against the coronavirus pandemic spreading around the world.
The 56-year-old was taking questions about the coronavirus crisis when he fell behind the lectern and was quickly helped up by fellow ministers before he took a sip of water.
‘I was feeling faint from fatigue and intense weeks. I am feeling better now. I am going home now to rest this evening so I can return tomorrow to fight the corona crisis,’ he said in a message on social media.

‘All restaurants and bars are closing from 6pm (1700 GMT) today as well as sports clubs, saunas, sex clubs and coffee shops (cannabis cafes),’ he added.
