zh-cn	大家早上好。 
en-us	Good morning.

zh-cn	诸位阁下、同事们和朋友们： 
en-us	Excellencies, colleagues and friends.

zh-cn	很难相信仅仅50天前，世卫组织驻华代表处接到通报，武汉市出现了不明原因的肺炎聚集性病例。 
en-us	It’s hard to believe that only 50 days ago, WHO’s country office was notified of a cluster of cases of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan city.

zh-cn	仅在七周内，这一疫情就引起了全世界高度关注。
en-us	In just seven weeks, this outbreak has captured the world’s attention, 

zh-cn	这是理所当然的，因为这场疫情有可能导致严重的政治、社会和经济震荡。 
en-us	and rightly so, because it has the potential to cause severe political, social and economic upheaval.

zh-cn	如各位所知，在首批报告病例后不到一个月，当我们开始看到中国境外人际传播的迹象后，世卫组织宣布这场疫情构成了国际关注的突发公共卫生事件。 
en-us	WHO, as you know, declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern less than a month after the first reported cases, after we started to see signs of human-to-human transmission outside China.

zh-cn	截至日内瓦时间今天早上6点，中国已向世卫组织报告了74279例病例，包括2006例死亡。 
en-us	As of 6am Geneva time this morning, China has reported 74,279 cases to WHO, including 2006 deaths.

zh-cn	在中国以外的25个国家，目前有918例病例，其中3例死亡。 
en-us	Outside China, there are now 918 cases in 25 countries, with three deaths.

zh-cn	来自中国的数据似乎显示新增病例有所下降。
en-us	The data from China appear to show a decline in new cases.

zh-cn	这是个好消息，但必须非常谨慎地加以解读。 
en-us	This is welcome news, but it must be interpreted very cautiously. 

zh-cn	现在对此次疫情做出预测还为时过早。
en-us	It’s far too early to make predictions about this outbreak.

zh-cn	在中国以外，我们看到新病例持续下降。
en-us	Outside China, we have seen a steady drip of new cases, 

zh-cn	除了钻石公主号邮轮这种特殊情况外，我们尚未看到持续的本地传播。 
en-us	but we have not yet seen sustained local transmission, except in specific circumstances like the Diamond Princess cruise ship.

zh-cn	当然，这仍有可能改变。
en-us	Of course, that could still change. 

zh-cn	由于中国积极努力从源头控制疫情，我们仍有机会防止发生更广泛的全球危机。 
en-us	We still have a window of opportunity to prevent a broader global crisis, thanks to China’s aggressive efforts to contain the outbreak at its source.

zh-cn	中国的努力减缓了病毒在国际上的传播，为世界赢得了时间。 
en-us	Those efforts have slowed the spread of the virus internationally, which has bought the world time.

zh-cn	七周前，我们对这种病毒一无所知。
en-us	Seven weeks ago, this virus was completely unknown to us.

zh-cn	随着时间的推移，我们的了解在逐步增多。 
en-us	With every day that passes, we know a little bit more.

zh-cn	我们知道超过80%为轻症患者，他们会康复。 
en-us	We know that more than 80% of patients have mild disease and will recover.

zh-cn	但20%的患者患有严重或危重疾病，从呼吸急促到败血性休克和多器官衰竭不等。 
en-us	But the other 20% of patients have severe or critical disease, ranging from shortness of breath to septic shock and multi-organ failure.

zh-cn	2%的报告病例是死亡病例。
en-us	In 2% of reported cases, the virus is fatal, 

zh-cn	患者年龄越大，死亡风险就越高。如果有基础性疾病，死亡风险也会增高。 
en-us	and the risk of death increases the older a patient is, and with underlying health conditions.

zh-cn	儿童病例较少。
en-us	We see relatively few cases among children. 

zh-cn	需要更多的研究来了解其中的原因。 
en-us	More research is needed to understand why.

zh-cn	如你们所知，一个由世卫组织牵头的国际专家组目前正在中国实地工作，
en-us	As you know, a WHO-led international team of experts is now on the ground in China, 

zh-cn	与中国同行共同寻找一些我们不了解的问题的答案，
en-us	working with their Chinese counterparts to find answers to some of the things we don’t know, 

zh-cn	包括疾病的严重程度、病毒的传染性以及中国所采取的措施的作用。 
en-us	including the severity of disease, the transmissibility of the virus and the impact of the measures that China has taken.

zh-cn	世卫组织牵头的联合专家组汇聚了来自中国和世界各地的顶尖专家。
en-us	The WHO-led joint team brings together leading experts from China and around the world, 

zh-cn	专家们致力于汇集他们的科学专业知识，更好地了解疫情并拯救生命。 
en-us	with a shared commitment to pooling their scientific expertise to better understand the outbreak and save lives.

zh-cn	联合专家组是在全球疫情警报和反应网络框架下启动的。
en-us	The mission was launched under the GOARN framework.

zh-cn	我们感谢全球疫情警报和反应网络的所有合作伙伴的持续支持和合作。 
en-us	We thank all partners in the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network for their continued support and partnership.

zh-cn	专家组包括来自下列机构的流行病学、病毒学、临床管理、疫情控制和公共卫生领域的专家： 
en-us	The team includes experts in epidemiology, virology, clinical management, outbreak control and public health from the following institutions:

zh-cn	新加坡国立大学
en-us	The National University of Singapore

zh-cn	圣彼得堡巴斯德研究所
en-us	The Saint Petersburg Pasteur Institute 

zh-cn	日本国立传染病研究所
en-us	The National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Japan

zh-cn	韩国首尔国立大学医学院
en-us	The Seoul National University College of Medicine, Republic of Korea

zh-cn	尼日利亚疾病控制中心
en-us	The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control

zh-cn	美国疾病预防控制中心
en-us	The U.S. Centers for Disease Prevention and Control

zh-cn	美国国家卫生研究院
en-us	The U.S. National Institutes of Health

zh-cn	俄罗斯国家肺结核和传染病医学研究中心
en-us	The Russian National Medical Research Center of Phthisiopulmonology and Infectious Diseases

zh-cn	德国罗伯特·科赫研究所 。 
en-us	And the Robert Koch Institute, Germany.

zh-cn	自宣布发生了国际关注的突发公共卫生事件以来，我们加强了内部和外部协调。 
en-us	Since the declaration of the PHEIC we have intensified our coordination, both internally and externally.

zh-cn	我们召集了世卫组织卫生安全委员会。
en-us	We’ve convened the WHO Health Security Council, 

zh-cn	这是我本人、迈克·瑞安博士、各区域主任和其他高级工作人员每日一次的例会，用于协调我们的应对措施。 
en-us	a daily meeting of myself, Dr Mike Ryan, the Regional Directors and other senior staff, to coordinate our response.

zh-cn	作为对突发事件委员会工作的补充，我还在征求一系列专家的建议，
en-us	I am also taking advice from a range of experts, as a complement to the Emergency Committee,  

zh-cn	以确保我们了解疫情的演变并采取相应对策。 
en-us	to ensure we understand the evolution of the outbreak and respond accordingly,

zh-cn	我们与这些国际专家每周举行一次会议。
en-us	and a weekly meeting is held with these international experts.

zh-cn	两周前，我向联合国秘书长通报了情况，我们同意启动由迈克·瑞安博士领导的联合国危机管理小组，
en-us	Two weeks ago I briefed the Secretary-General and we agreed to activate the United Nations Crisis Management Team, led by Dr Mike Ryan, 

zh-cn	使世卫组织能够把重点放在卫生应对上，而其他机构则可利用其专业知识应对疫情带来的更广泛的社会、经济和发展影响。
en-us	to enable WHO to focus on the health response while other agencies bring their expertise to bear on the wider social, economic and developmental implications of the outbreak, 

zh-cn	所以，各组织都在发挥各自的优势。 
en-us	so we are all working to our strengths.

zh-cn	如各位所知，这种协调非常重要。
en-us	That coordination as you know is very crucial.

zh-cn	我本人和联合国秘书长对瑞安博士领导应对行动充满信心。 
en-us	Myself and the Secretary-General have a lot of confidence in Dr Ryan to lead the response.

zh-cn	我们正通过大流行供应链网络与个人防护装备制造商合作，解决口罩、手套、防护服和其他个人防护装备市场的严重混乱局面，
en-us	We’re working with manufacturers of personal protective equipment through the Pandemic Supply Chain Network to address the severe disruption in the market for masks, gloves, gowns and other PPE, 

zh-cn	确保卫生工作者的防护。
en-us	to ensure we can protect health workers.

zh-cn	我们正在与非洲疾病预防控制中心合作，协调我们的努力，让非洲国家为病毒可能到来做好准备。 
en-us	We’re partnering with the Africa CDC to coordinate our efforts to prepare African countries for the potential arrival of the virus.

zh-cn	如各位所知，其中一个问题是这种病毒是否会传播到卫生系统薄弱的国家。
en-us	As you know, one of the concerns is if this virus makes it to countries with weaker health systems.

zh-cn	到本周末，40个非洲国家和29个美洲国家将有能力检测2019冠状病毒病。 
en-us	By the end of this week, 40 countries in Africa and 29 in the Americas will have the ability to detect COVID-19.

zh-cn	我们还向21个国家运送了个人防护装备，
en-us	We’ve also shipped supplies of personal protective equipment to 21 countries, 

zh-cn	并将在未来几周内将它们运送到另外106个国家。 
en-us	and will ship to another 106 countries in the coming weeks.

zh-cn	我们正在培训成千上万的卫生工作者，
en-us	We’re training thousands of health workers, 

zh-cn	并且向各国提供了如何进行筛查、检测、接触者追踪和治疗的建议。 
en-us	and we’re providing advice to countries on how to do screening, testing, contact tracing and treatment.

zh-cn	上周，我们召集了国际研究界人士开会确定研究重点，
en-us	Last week we brought the international research community together to identify research priorities, 

zh-cn	尤其是确定在诊断工具、治疗方法和疫苗领域的研究重点。 
en-us	especially in the areas of diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines.

zh-cn	我们还发布了一项战略防范和应对计划，
en-us	We’ve also published a Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan, 

zh-cn	并呼吁捐助方提供6.75亿美元支持国家做好准备。 
en-us	with a call for US$675 million to support countries to prepare.

zh-cn	自两周前我们发出这一呼吁以来，已有若干机构认捐，我们对此表示欢迎。
en-us	Since we issued this call two weeks ago, there have been several pledges of support, which we welcome, 

zh-cn	但反应非常缓慢，我们请求各位支持解决这一问题。 
en-us	but the response is very slow and we ask for your support to address this problem.

zh-cn	国际社会的团结非常重要，
en-us	The solidarity of the international community is very important, 

zh-cn	特别是帮助卫生系统薄弱的国家做好准备。 
en-us	especially to help countries with weaker health systems to prepare.

zh-cn	我们现在需要采取行动。
en-us	We need action now.

zh-cn	我期待国际社会加强行动，以便利用我们目前的机会之窗。 
en-us	I am counting on the international community to step up if we are to take advantage of the window of opportunity we have.

zh-cn	我们还担心大量捐款可能用于疫苗开发，
en-us	We’re also concerned about the potential for large donations to be channeled towards vaccine development, 

zh-cn	这样会挤占用于现在拯救生命的简单公共卫生干预措施的急需资金。
en-us	depriving the response of much-needed funds for simple public health interventions that can save lives now.

zh-cn	我们需要疫苗，这很重要，但我们需要找到一个平衡点，这不是非此即彼的问题。 
en-us	We need vaccines, that’s important, but we need to strike a balance, it’s not either-or.

zh-cn	我们需要对短期解决方案和长期解决方案作出平衡投资。 
en-us	We need balanced investments in short term and longer-term solutions.

zh-cn	正如我所说的，需要这些投资来利用我们现在的机会之窗，这是一个我们绝不可浪费的机会。 
en-us	As I said, these investments are needed to take advantage of the window of opportunity we have now – an opportunity we must not squander.

zh-cn	谢谢大家。
en-us	I thank you.
