WHO's Tedros Self-Quarantines After COVID-19 Exposure Tyler Durden Mon, 11/02/2020 - 00:30
World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is self-quarantining following an exposure to someone with COVID-19. In a late Sunday tweet, the WHO figurehead said that he's feeling well and without symptoms.
"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," he said, adding that "it is critically important that we all comply with health guidance."
Ghebreyesus took a swipe at the Trump administration's shift from a containment strategy to treating and managing the disease, writing "This is how we will break chains of #COVID19 transmission, suppress the virus, and protect health systems."
It is critically important that we all comply with health guidance. 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!

After giving conflicting advice in the early days of the Pandemic and reportedly assisting China in covering up the disease's severity and spread (an allegation published in Der Spiegel which has been denied), tho WHO is recommending that people be vigilant about hand-washing, wearing masks and social distancing. The organization has also called on local and federal governments to locate, isolate, test, treat and trace the contacts of the infected.
