On the 13th (local time), in Bonn, Ontario, Canada, Santa Claus met children in a movable glass box. This is a measure to prevent the infection of Corona 19. The massive Santa face-to-face event that was originally scheduled to be held was canceled due to the Corona 19 epidemic. AP=Yonhap News

“Can Santa be active this Christmas when the virus is outbreaks?”
–
This is a somewhat erratic question from a press conference held at the World Health Organization (WHO) held on the 14th (local time), 10 days before Christmas. Is Santa Claus also affected by the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19)? To this, Maria Pankirkhover, head of the WHO Corona 19 technical team, replied:
“Santa is immune to Corona 19, so it doesn’t matter anywhere in the world.”

AFP news agency reported this happening while delivering the news of the WHO regular briefing held in Geneva, Switzerland. While the WHO emphasized the importance of quarantine, it seems that the answer was given in order not to break children’s conscience.
Team leader Pankirk Hover said that Santa is a’high-risk group’, and because he travels long distances, he is always concerned about infection and transmission of Corona 19. “I understand that since Santa is old, there are concerns about her health,” he said. “But Santa is immune to the virus.”
“I recently had a short conversation with Santa, and he and his wife are doing well. They are very busy now.” He added that it would.
He also said, “I will travel all over the world to deliver gifts to children this year,” he said.
