'Sorry!': Dutch PM breaks own 'no handshake' rule at coronavirus conference

Mark Rutte concluded a press conference announcing a 'no handshake policy' to prevent the spread of coronavirus, by shaking hands with a health official. Realising his gaffe, the Dutch prime minister exclaimed: 'Sorry, we can't do that anymore!' 

The Guardian YouTube network:

Sorry, sorry… *continues to touch the other person*

*No more handshakes or hugs.*

Breaks rule blatantly and continue the "bro hug".

"Read my lips: No. Hand. Contact. Ever."

*Hi-fives the next guy*

As a Dutch person reading the foreign “I love this man” comments is hilarious😂

I only watched this because I fell in love with this one person from Netherlands. Known him for 2 years, met him only 4 times. It was already hard for us to be together because I'm from America, but with this Coronavirus, makes it even more clear but somehow something still doesn't stop me from loving him. 😔
