VIENNA (Reuters) - Austrian Health Minister Rudolf Anschober of the Greens, the junior partner in the conservative-led coalition, said on Tuesday he is stepping down, exhausted and sick from battling the coronavirus pandemic and occasionally other officials.
"In the worst health crisis in decades the republic needs a health minister who is 100% fit. That is not currently me," he said, describing blood-pressure problems. He plans to step down on Monday, he said, adding: "I ... do not want to break myself."
