UN Deputy Secretary General, Mrs Muhammed
The United Nations Deputy Secretary General, Mrs. Amina Muhammed, has tested positive for COVID-19 and has gone into isolation.
Mrs. Mohammed was Nigeria’s Minister of Environment before she took up the appointment of the Deputy General of the world body.
Announcing the development on her Twitter handle on Tuesday, Mrs. Mohammed said: “I have tested positive for COVID-19. Grateful to be one of the privileged to have been vaccinated as I think of the millions still without protection. Let us continue to push for vaccines leaving no one behind.
“Happy to continue online in isolation, my full commitment to the #TransformingEducation pre-summit.
She was supposed to attend the summit of the Transforming Education programme organised by the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) before she discovered her status despite being vaccinated.(Nigerian Tribune)
