United Nations Headquarters Press Conference Reopened for the First Time in 5 Months “Improvement of New York Infection Status” August 28, 7:12
The United Nations resumed a press conference for the first time in five and a half months, saying that the infection situation of the new coronavirus has improved in New York, where the headquarters is located, and most of the currently suspended international conference is preparing for the UN General Assembly next month. We are considering holding meetings.
As a measure to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, the United Nations Headquarters in New York has made all staff work from home on March 16, and has switched the press conference held on weekdays to a press conference online.
Since the situation in New York has improved compared to other regions since then, the UN has resumed trial interviews at the headquarters on the 27th with a limited number of reporters.
The press conference was held online, and spokeswoman Dujaric was questioned by both reporters online and in the press room.
The United Nations will gradually return the number of employees who will go to work to 40% before the spread of infection and consider holding international conferences and conferences that are currently at a halt for the United Nations General Assembly that will open later this month. I am deciding.
In order to prevent the spread of infection, this UN General Assembly's policy is to broadcast a prerecorded speech at the venue for the first time since its establishment, but Secretary-General Guterres will make a speech at the conference.
