The Director-General (DG) of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Tedros Ghebreyesus says he has gone into self-quarantine having been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
The WHO DG made the announcement in a series of tweets late Sunday night.
According to him: “I’ve been identified as a contact person of someone who has COVID-19 symptoms, I am well and without symptoms but will self-quarantine over the coming days and self-quarantine from home.
“It is 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.
“My colleagues and I at WHO will continue to engage with partners in solidarity to save lives and protect the vulnerable.”
A number of countries in Europe face renewed lockdown measures due to the resurgence of COVID-19 cases in those nations.
