Dutch State Secretary for Economic Affairs Mona Keijzer has tested positive for COVID-19, announcing the news on Twitter.
She reports feeling well and is continuing her duties from home isolation.
Keijzer attended the Council of Ministers last Friday but missed yesterday's Catshuis consultation.
The cabinet is advised to get tested per RIVM guidelines: five days after last contact with Keijzer, scheduled for Wednesday, or immediately if symptoms arise.
No quarantine is needed, as sufficient distance was maintained. However, if the Corona detector app flags close contact, members must stay home.
