Coronavirus in Mexico: President blamed for slow reaction to outbreak
Organisers of the Expo 2020 Dubai world fair, scheduled to start in October, have confirmed one coronavirus case among staff.
A spokesman confirmed the case after the Reuters news agency asked for a comment on a letter that informed contractors of the case and said Expo 2020 Dubai would “continue to operate and provide all essential support services to allow construction on site to continue”.
“All those in contact or in touch with the individual are following the Dubai Health Authority protocols, including testing, quarantine, and self-isolation measures,” the spokesman told the news agency.
The infected individual had been working at the Expo 2020 Dubai office, a source familiar with the matter told the news agency. Organisers estimated last year that the Expo would draw 11 million overseas visitors. It is billed as a showpiece of culture, business and technology with pavilions from 192 countries plus concerts and other events.
