The Dutch Minister for Medical Care has collapsed briefly during a debate in Parliament on the novel coronavirus.
Bruno Bruins, 56, fell behind the speakers' lectern while taking questions and was helped up by fellow ministers. He took a sip of water and was seen leaving the room unassisted.
"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 shared on social media.
His office said it would issue a statement and had no immediate comment.
The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the Netherlands rose by 346 on Wednesday to 2051, with 58 deaths.
