en-us	Someone who is actively sick with COVID-19 can spread the illness to others. 
zh-cn	正在患有 COVID-19 疾病的人可将疾病传播给他人。

zh-cn	这就是为什么 CDC(美国疾病控制与预防中心) 建议这些患者或在医院，或家中进行隔离（取决于患病程度），直到它们好转，并不伴有感染他人的风险。 

en-us	How long someone is actively sick can vary so the decision on when to release someone from isolation is made on a case-by-case basis in consultation with doctors, infection prevention and control experts, and public health officials and involves considering specifics of each situation including disease severity, illness signs and symptoms, and results of laboratory testing for that patient. 
zh-cn	每个人的生病时间可能会有所不同，因此决定何时接触隔离是因人而异的，并需要咨询医生、感染预防和控制专家，以及公共卫生官员时进行讨论，其中涉及考虑每种情况的具体细节，包括疾病严重程度、疾病体征和症状，以及该患者的实验室检测结果。 

en-us	Current CDC guidance for when it is OK to release someone from isolation is made on a case by case basis and includes meeting all of the following requirements:

en-us	Q: Can someone who has been quarantined for COVID-19 spread the illness to others? 
zh-cn	Q：已被隔离的 COVID-19 的人能否将疾病传播给他人？ 

en-us	A: Quarantine means separating a person or group of people who have been exposed to a contagious disease but have not developed illness (symptoms) from others who have not been exposed, in order to prevent the possible spread of that disease. 
zh-cn	A：隔离是指曾经暴露于传染性疾病的，但尚未发展成疾病（症状）的一个人或一组人，与未接触过的其他人分开，以防止该疾病传播的可能。

en-us	Quarantine is usually established for the incubation period of the communicable disease, which is the span of time during which people have developed illness after exposure. 
zh-cn	隔离通常在传染病的潜伏期建立，这是人在暴露后患病的时间范围。

en-us	For COVID-19, the period of quarantine is 14 days from the last date of exposure, because 14 days is the longest incubation period seen for similar coronaviruses. 
zh-cn	对于 COVID-19，隔离期为从最后一次暴露之日起的 14 天，因为 14 天是类似冠状病毒的最长的潜伏期。

zh-cn	导致 COVID-19 的病毒与 MERS-CoV 相比，与 SARS-CoV 更具遗传学相关性，但两者都是源于蝙蝠的 β 病毒。

en-us	While we don’t know for sure that this virus will behave the same way as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, we can use the information gained from both of these earlier coronaviruses to guide us. 
zh-cn	虽然我们不确定这种病毒的行为方式是否与 SARS-CoV 和 MERS-CoV 相同，但我们可以使用这两种早期冠状病毒的信息指导我们。

en-us	In general, because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures. 
zh-cn	通常，由于这些冠状病毒在表面上的存活率较差，因此在环境温度下几天或几周内运输的产品或包裹的传播风险很低。
