WTO Postpones First Meeting in Four Years Amid Covid Variant Concerns

WASHINGTON—The Planet Trade Firm has resolved to postpone a ministerial meeting scheduled to start out Tuesday in Geneva, after dozens of nations restricted travel from southern Africa to prevent the transmission of a new coronavirus variant.

The WTO attributed the postponement to recently introduced travel limits and quarantine specifications in Switzerland and a lot of other European countries, leaving a lot of delegates unable to travel. The team said that the member countries unanimously supported the selection.
