D66 politician and outgoing Minister of the Interior Kajsa Ollongren has tested positive for the coronavirus. In her role as formation scout, she met with all party leaders last week.
The formation talks for a new cabinet have been postponed for now, according to the Government Information Service.
The key question remains: where did Ollongren contract the virus? asks political reporter Fons Lambie.
Earlier this week, State Secretary Mona Keijzer tested positive for COVID-19. The entire cabinet was tested as a result, with Prime Minister Rutte receiving a negative result.
