WHO says Santa is immune to Covid-19
Dec 17, 2020
Christmas is a few days away and the celebrations are likely to be low this year due to the ongoing covid-19 pandemic. However, when the World Health Organisation was asked during a media briefing on children’s concerns regarding the novel coronavirus impacting Santa Clause’s health, the answer by the agency’s Technical Head Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove did not disappoint.
“I understand the concern for Santa, because he is of older age,” she said while responding to the journalist’s question. “I can tell you that Santa Claus is immune to this virus,” Kerkhove added.
She further said WHO had been told by a number of world leaders that they had relaxed quarantine measures and would allow Santa to enter their airspace. “So he will be able to travel in and out of the airspace and be able to deliver presents to children,” she said.

Though, Kerkhove advised the people to stay safe and maintain social distancing while celebrating. She said: “I think it is very important that all the children of the world understand that physical distancing by Santa Claus and also of the children themselves must be strictly enforced,”
