Dutch cabinet apologises to Q fever patients
Original: sophie hermans
The Dutch government has issued a formal apology to Q fever patients who did not receive adequate support from the authorities during the outbreak. Health minister Sophie Hermans is at the centre of the story, which also highlights how Q fever acted as a silent killer, with many people infected without knowing it. Dutch media say patients waited years for recognition of how the government handled the crisis, particularly around mass goat farm culls in the south of the country.
Why now: The cabinet's new official apology to Q fever patients is fresh news in the Netherlands and involves minister Sophie Hermans.
