Two cases of COVID-19 have been registered at the World Health Organization headquarters, a spokesman said yesterday. The WHO, based in the Swiss city of Geneva, is coordinating the international response to the new coronavirus pandemic, which has infected more than 180,000 people and killed more than 7,000 across 145 countries. "We do have two staff confirmed with symptoms of COVID-19," spokesman Christian Lindmeier told reporters at a virtual press conference. "This was last week, Friday and Thursday. They both have gone home. They have self-isolated. They showed symptoms. "Colleagues in the office have been checked and we're waiting for further information on those. Everything so far seems OK with them. He said all but essential staff were working remotely.
