The UN refugee chief said Wednesday that he had tested positive for Covid-19, after leading the first two days of the agency's main annual meeting in person.
Filippo Grandi, who kicked off UNHCR's week-long Executive Committee meeting in Geneva Monday, told participants via video-link that he would need to continue following the event from home.
"I am engaging with UNHCR's Executive Committee from home as I have to isolate after testing positive to #COVID19," he said in a tweet.
