UNITED NATIONS (REUTERS) - A female diplomat from the Philippine mission to the United Nations tested positive for coronavirus on Thursday (March 12), according to a note sent to UN missions, making the woman the first known case at the world body's New York headquarters.
"As of today, the Philippine Mission is in lockdown, and all personnel are instructed to self-quarantine and to seek medical attention should they develop the symptoms. We are assuming that all of us have been infected," wrote Philippines acting UN Ambassador Kira Azucena in a message seen by Reuters.
According the online UN directory of diplomatic staff, there are about 12 diplomats at the Filipino mission, which is on 5th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.
The sick diplomat represented the Philippines in the UN General Assembly's legal affairs committees. Ms Azucena said the diplomat was last at UN headquarters on Monday for about half an hour when she was asymptomatic.
She came down with flu-like symptoms on Tuesday and visited her doctor.
"She got the call today that she tested positive for Covid-19," Ms Azucena wrote on Thursday.
The UN did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the case.

The 193-member world body began implementing coronavirus prevention measures at its Manhattan headquarters this week.
A two-week conference on women's rights was cut to one day, several other planned large conferences cancelled, and most smaller meetings cut. UN missions have been asked to limit the number of diplomats they send to meetings, and at least half the several thousand UN staff who normally work in the building will be working from home by next week.

Duterte approved a resolution to allow a raft of containment measures including bans on mass gatherings, a month of school closures and quarantining in communities where cases are detected, as well as stopping domestic travel in and out of Manila.
It follows confirmation on Saturday of the Philippines' first domestic transmission of the virus, which has killed two people there and infected 53.

Bwahahaha now a bunch of people who never posted in this thread are coming to complain about the problems the virus is causing. Next time pay attention to what is going on around you and be prepared for shit when things go tits up. 3 months of warning signs ignored and now crying begins.
100% of the problems going on aren't caused by the virus itself but by the overblown, insane reaction to it.

At this point testing in the US is just a safety blanket. Gives a feeling of control that isn't there. In exchange for risk of infection.edit: actually you know what? i've changed my mind, i'll agree with you if the person you're telling it to is an ameriburger. it's not like they'll test them anyways.

If anyone thinks this isn’t serious, my family member who is a nurse had a conference call on preparations today with an Italian doctor they sometimes work with. He said they are now taking 40 year olds off the ventilators in favour of 30 year olds
