UN humanitarian chief tests positive for COVID-19

UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths abruptly canceled a trip to Turkey late Monday after he tested positive for COVID-19, reported from Voice of America. 

He had planned to leave Tuesday to meet with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to discuss Ankara's help in trying to achieve some level of humanitarian cease-fire in Ukraine.

"I regret to say that I tested positive for COVID today. I am following health guidance, cancelled travel, and isolating at home. 

"I'm grateful to have had my vaccines already, an opportunity too many around the world have not had," he wrote on Twitter.
