The World Health Organization has confirmed a leaked internal email stating that 65 of their headquarters staff in Geneva, Switzerland have caught coronavirus, the Associated Press reports.
While just over half of the confirmed cases are among staff members working from home, a cluster of 32 staff members still working in person at the organization’s headquarters came down with the virus, despite the organization’s strict protocols to control and prevent the spread of the virus on its premises.
The email, originating from WHO Assistant Director-General of Business Operations Raul Thomas, wrote that five people who had close contact with each other at the headquarters had tested positive for coronavirus.
The email also stated that 49 of the 65 cases occurred in the past eight weeks, despite Thomas having claimed less than five weeks ago that there have been no cases of the virus among staff at their headquarters.
WHO spokeswoman Farah Dakhlallah confirmed the outbreak, stating that they “have not yet established whether transmission occurred on campus, but are looking into the matter.”
Among those who contracted the virus are an infection control specialist who is also part of the WHO’s senior management.
The leaked email also said that the WHO would be taking further measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at their headquarters, despite the fact that the organization placed stricter limits on access to their headquarters just last month.
“Finally, members of the workforce are reminded that physical meetings, including gatherings in common areas or in the cafeteria, are strongly discouraged and should only take place where absolutely necessary,” the email further warned.
So much for the “WHO” knowing what is best. They are a complete fraud and acting like criminal oligarchs.
Typical of the WHO to not be transparent…lol
The Coronavirus is not racist, nor does it care if you are young or old. If you walk into someone’s cough spittal, Guess What? You have been infected.
It’s as easy as that! However, as Elon Musk (SPACEX dude) found out, the testing for this virus is not reliable. He took four separate tests spaced throughout one day — two tested positive, two tested negative. That is not a good thing. So HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY TESTING POSITIVE WHEN THEY ARE REALLY NEGATIVE? That is the question that needs to be discussed here.
I remember hearing people who “supposedly” had Covid19 and they said it was just like a bad cold, no big deal! So now’s the question: Did those people with extremely lite symptoms really have Covid19 or was their testing unreliable showing a positive instead of a Negative when they just had a bad cold?
I am sorry to hear that WHO employees have spread Covid19 inside their organization. Hopefully it will not infect too many more of them.
On the other hand, perhaps it would be smart to retest those employees that tested positive because of the “False Positive” happening in these tests
It really may be that the majority of those employees are really experiencing a Fall Cold and not the actual Covid19 Virus? You won’t know unless they are tested again for the virus — and what if their tests come back Negative?
This is a HUGE CAN OF WORMS just like the U.S.’s Corrupt Presidential Election! Something isn’t right about this whole Covid mess!
