An official from the World Health Organisation said today that two staff members have been confirmed as infected with the coronavirus.

The body leading the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic said both employees began showing symptoms at home and were then tested.

News of the pair’s diagnosis came as the WHO regional office for Europe said there is a need for bold measures in all European countries, calling the continent the ‘epicenter’ of the new pandemic.



These new WHO cases are the first at the Geneva-based organisation and follow a confirmed case at the UN office in Geneva as well one at the World Trade Organization last week.

It was not clear if the infected staff were working in the coronavirus response.

Hans Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, told a press conference: ‘Every country, with no exceptions, needs to take their boldest actions to stop or slow down the virus threat.

‘Thinking that ‘this does not concern me,’ is not an option,’ Kluge added.

Kluge also said that the ‘good news’ was that the region was ‘alert and on guard,’ noting that ‘preparedness, readiness and response measures’ had been launched in all member states.

According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, more than 180,000 cases had been confirmed worldwide on Tuesday.

Nobody is safe o!
More like saying the pastor or priest was successfully attacked by witches and wizards

He should isolate and receive treatment, it is not safe anywhere now. The virus has killed medical doctors even.

Nawa oo. The music is changing to a war song.

More like saying the pastor or priest was successfully attacked by witches and wizards. The congregation should just prepare their requiem.

So they tell precautionary measures, but don't apply them?

Awol1:

Precautionary measures doesn't guarantee 100% prevention. It's more like soldiers wearing protective gear but bullets still managing to pass through little exposed gaps.

Let's just pray for these doctors and wish them all the best; they are in the "front line of the war" .

Let Nigerians be praying to their useless gods hoping they are immune to the virus, stupid nation
