The Dutch health minister collapsed today in parliament because of 'fatigue from intense weeks' of working against the coronavirus crisis. 'From tomorrow, March 16 until April 6, the coming three weeks, schools and day care centres will be closed except for those children whose parents are in vital jobs,' Education Minister Arie Slob said. 'All restaurants and bars are closing from 6pm (1700 GMT) today as well as sports clubs, saunas, sex clubs and coffee shops (cannabis cafes),' added Bruins. Dutch news reports said Sunday that bars and restaurants - particularly those close to the southern border - were overwhelmed by Belgian visitors. 'If you visit... the Netherlands you stand a chance of bringing the virus back to Belgium,' he told the paper.
