The Director General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said he is self isolating after contact with someone who tested positive for Covid-19.

Ghebreyesus said this late Sunday in Geneva, the headquarters of the global health body.

Geneva also imposed a partial lockdown until late November following a second wave of the virus.

“I have been identified as a contact of someone who has tested positive for #COVID19. I am well and without symptoms but will self-quarantine over the coming days, in line with @WHO protocols, and work from home,” Ghebreyesus said.

The WHO boss said it was critically important that we all comply with health guidance.

He said, “This is how we will break chains of #COVID19 transmission, suppress the virus, and protect health systems.”

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