Experiencia de las medidas de salud y seguridad laboral en la época de la crisis sanitaria por el coronavirus (covid-19), desde la perspectiva de funcionario en el Sistema de Naciones Unidas en Ginebra, Suiza

Abstract

Humanity is facing its utmost challenge since World War II. COVID-19 knows no borders, affecting all countries and continents, and hitting them indiscriminately. In this fight against an invisible enemy, all countries are struggling to prevent the spread of the virus, which is thrashing human lives and economies; not knowing when it will stop to circulate around the planet. As an international civil servant, I would like to summarize the immediate measures experienced by those of us who work for the United Nations system in Geneva and the actions taken by the host country, Switzerland. These measures have allowed the UN system to continue to operate and to be vigilant for any health challenge in a multicultural and international environment, where the objective was, is and will be people’s health and safety as its maximum priority and concern.
