WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus attends a news briefing at the WHO headquarters, in Geneva, on March 11, 2020.World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he will self-quarantine after being identified as a contact of a person who tested positive for COVID-19. A top WHO official focusing on the pandemic said Monday there has been no transmission at the agency’s Geneva headquarters.
“We haven’t had any transmission take place on the premises, and we have no clusters on the premises,” Van Kerkhove said. “But it is something that we’re monitoring every day.” Asked about the contradiction about whether any transmission had occurred on-site, WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris said the public position from the agency was that there has been none at headquarters.
The WHO director-general and his team have been at the forefront of the global response to the coronavirus pandemic, which has infected at least 46.5 million people and led to more than 1.2 million deaths, according to a count of confirmed cases by Johns Hopkins University.
