An official from the World Health Organization, the body leading the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic, said on Tuesday that two staff members have been confirmed to be infected with the coronavirus.
The cases are the first at the Geneva-based organisation and follow a confirmed case at the U.N. office in Geneva as well one at the World Trade Organization last week. [L8N2B36GR]
“The staff had left the office and then at home showed symptoms and were tested and confirmed with COVID-19,” WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier told journalists, referring to the official name of the disease caused by the virus. “We do therefore have two confirmed cases.”
It was not clear if the infected staff were working in the coronavirus response.
