The World Health Organization (WHO) has recorded 65 cases of the coronavirus among staff based at its headquarters, including five people who worked on the premises and were in contact with one another, an internal email obtained by The Associated Press shows, it reported.

In the email, which was sent to staff on Friday, Raul Thomas, who heads business operations at WHO, noted that five people had tested positive for COVID-19.  “These last five cases bring the total reported number of affected members of the Geneva based workforce to 65 since the beginning of the pandemic,” the email said in particular.

The email did not specify who was infected, but it said enhanced measures to “reduce our risk profile” were being considered. “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 added.
