Why WHO chief isn’t getting Covid-19 test

On Nov. 1, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), announced that he had come into contact with someone who tested positive for Covid-19. He planned to isolate himself, and to continue to work from home.
I have been identified as a contact of someone who has tested positive for #COVID19. I am well and without symptoms but will self-quarantine over the coming days, in line with @WHO protocols, and work from home.

But, perhaps counterintuitively, Dr. Tedros (as he is commonly called) wouldn’t be getting a test immediately.
