WHO chief self-quarantines after Covid-19 contact

Geneva: Taking to Twitter on Monday morning, he said: “I have been identified as a contact of someone who has tested positive for Covid-19. I am well and without symptoms but will self-quarantine over the coming days, in line with WHO protocols, and work from home.”

In another message on Twitter, the WHO chief said that it was “critically important that we all comply with health guidance”.

“This is how we will break chains of Covid-19 transmission, suppress the virus, and protect health systems,” Ghebreyesus said.

“My WHO colleagues and I will continue to engage with partners in solidarity to save lives and protect the vulnerable. Together.”

The Eritrean, who is a graduate of the University of London and the University of Nottingham, is the first non-physician and the first African to become chief of the WHO.
