“We take the health of secretariat staff and our members very seriously which is why we have taken this unprecedented step.”
“We take the health of secretariat staff and our members very seriously which is why we have taken this unprecedented step,” Director-General Roberto Azevedo said in a statement.
“We are monitoring the situation very closely and will take whatever measures are necessary to protect health and safety,” Azevedo said, adding that the global trade body would review the decision by the end of next week. The announcement came as Switzerland, where the WTO and a wide range of other international organisations are based, registered its third death and nearly 500 cases of COVID-19.
Contrary to a range of other countries, Switzerland has not ordered school closures or other confinement measures, but it has banned all large events with more than 1,000 participants.
