zh-cn	诸位阁下、亲爱的同事和朋友们：
en-us	Excellencies, dear colleagues and friends,

zh-cn	首先，大家早上好。
en-us	First of all, I would like to say good morning. 

zh-cn	如各位所知，昨天我宣布全球COVID-19疫情现在可以称之为大流行。
en-us	As you know, yesterday I said that that the global COVID-19 outbreak can now be described as a pandemic. 

zh-cn	这不是我们轻易作出的一项决定。
en-us	This is not a decision we took lightly. 

zh-cn	我们做出这一评估有两个主要原因：
en-us	We have made this assessment for two main reasons: 

zh-cn	第一，因为它传播的速度和规模。
en-us	first, because of the speed and scale of transmission. 

zh-cn	已有118个国家和地区向世卫组织报告了近12.5万例病例。
en-us	Almost 125,000 cases have now been reported to WHO, from 118 countries and territories. 

zh-cn	过去两周以来，中国境外报告的病例数量增加了近12倍，
en-us	In the past two weeks, the number of cases reported outside China has increased almost 13-fold, 

zh-cn	受影响国家的数量增加了近两倍。
en-us	and the number of affected countries has almost tripled. 

zh-cn	第二个原因是，尽管我们一再发出警告，
en-us	The second reason is that despite our frequent warnings, 

zh-cn	但令我们深感担忧的是，一些国家并没有以防控这一威胁所需的政治决断力来应对这一威胁。
en-us	we are deeply concerned that some countries are not approaching this threat with the level of political commitment needed to control it. 

zh-cn	我要明确重申：
en-us	Let me be clear: 

zh-cn	将疫情称之为大流行并不意味着各国可以放弃。
en-us	describing this as a pandemic does not mean that countries should give up. 

zh-cn	各国应该从遏制转向缓解的想法是错误和危险的。
en-us	The idea that countries should shift from containment to mitigation is wrong and dangerous.

zh-cn	相反，我们必须加倍努力。
en-us	On the contrary, we have to double down. 

zh-cn	这是一场可控的大流行。
en-us	This is a controllable pandemic. 

zh-cn	决定放弃基本公共卫生措施的国家最终可能会面临更大的问题，
en-us	Countries that decide to give up on fundamental public health measures may end up with a larger problem, 

zh-cn	给医疗系统带来更沉重的负担，最终可能不得不采取更严厉的措施来控制。
en-us	and a heavier burden on the health system that requires more severe measures to control.

zh-cn	所有国家都必须在保护健康、防止经济和社会混乱以及尊重人权之间取得微妙的平衡。
en-us	All countries must strike a fine balance between protecting health, preventing economic and social disruption, and respecting human rights.

zh-cn	我们敦促所有国家以遏制为核心重点，采取适合本国国情的统筹应对方法。
en-us	We urge all countries to take a comprehensive approach tailored to their circumstances – with containment as the central pillar. 

zh-cn	我们呼吁各国采取四管齐下的战略：
en-us	We are calling on countries to take a four-pronged strategy:

zh-cn	首先，做好准备。
en-us	First, prepare and be ready. 

zh-cn	尚有77个国家和地区没有报告病例，
en-us	There are still 77 countries and territories with no reported cases, 

zh-cn	55个国家和地区报告了10例或10例以下的病例。
en-us	and 55 countries and territories that have reported 10 cases or less.

zh-cn	所有发生病例的国家都有未受影响的地区。
en-us	And all countries with cases have unaffected areas. 

zh-cn	各国有机会保持这种状态。
en-us	You have an opportunity to keep it that way. 

zh-cn	让本国人民和医疗设施做好准备。
en-us	Prepare your people and your health facilities.

zh-cn	第二，检测、预防和治疗。
en-us	Second, detect, prevent and treat.

zh-cn	如果不知道病毒在哪里，就无法抗击它。
en-us	You can’t fight a virus if you don’t know where it is. 

zh-cn	这意味着要实施强有力的监控，以发现、隔离、检测和治疗每一个病例，打破传播链。
en-us	That means robust surveillance to find, isolate, test and treat every case, to break the chains of transmission.

zh-cn	第三，减少和抑制。
en-us	Third, reduce and suppress.

zh-cn	为了拯救生命，我们必须减少传播。
en-us	To save lives we must reduce transmission. 

zh-cn	这意味着找到并隔离尽可能多的病例，隔离他们最密切的接触者。
en-us	That means finding and isolating as many cases as possible, and quarantining their closest contacts. 

zh-cn	即使不能阻止传播，也可以减缓传播速度，保护医疗设施、养老院和其他重要地区，
en-us	Even if you cannot stop transmission, you can slow it down and protect health facilities, old age homes and other vital areas 

zh-cn	但前提是必须检测所有疑似病例。
en-us	– but only if you test all suspected cases. 

zh-cn	第四，创新和提高。
en-us	And fourth, innovate and improve. 

zh-cn	这是一种新的病毒，一种新的情况。
en-us	This is a new virus and a new situation. 

zh-cn	我们都在学习，我们都必须找到新的方法来预防感染，挽救生命，并最大程度地减少影响。
en-us	We’re all learning and we must all find new ways to prevent infections, save lives, and minimize impact. 

zh-cn	所有国家都有经验教训可以分享。 
en-us	All countries have lessons to share. 

zh-cn	世卫组织日以继夜地为各国提供支持。
en-us	WHO is working day and night to support all countries. 

zh-cn	我们已经向57个国家运送了个人防护装备，我们正准备向另外28个国家运送，
en-us	We have shipped supplies of personal protective equipment to 57 countries, we’re preparing to ship to a further 28, 

zh-cn	而且我们还向120个国家运送了实验室用品。
en-us	and we’ve shipped lab supplies to 120 countries.

zh-cn	我们发布了研发路线图，其中包含一套有关如何进行研究的核心规程。
en-us	We’ve published an R&D roadmap, with a set of core protocols for how studies should be done. 

zh-cn	我们还发布了一套全面的技术指导文件。
en-us	We’ve published a comprehensive package of technical guidance. 

zh-cn	目前已有超过17.6万人报名参加了OpenWHO关于COVID-19的培训课程。
en-us	We’ve had more than 176,000 enrollments in our COVID training courses on OpenWHO. 

zh-cn	我们正与世界经济论坛和国际商会合作，让私营部门参与进来。
en-us	We’re working with the World Economic Forum and the International Chambers of Commerce to engage the private sector. 

zh-cn	我们也在与国际足联合作。
en-us	We’re also working with FIFA. 

zh-cn	我们正在与整个联合国系统的同僚们合作，支持各国围绕8大支柱领域制定防范和应对计划。
en-us	We’re working with our colleagues across the UN system to support countries to develop their preparedness and response plans, according to the 8 pillars. 

zh-cn	迄今为止，世卫组织的战略防范和应对计划已经收到超过4.4亿美元的认捐。 
en-us	And more than 440 million U.S. dollars has now been pledged to WHO’s Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan

zh-cn	我们感谢那些捐款的国家，特别是那些提供充分灵活资金的国家。
en-us	We thank those countries that have contributed, especially those that have contributed fully flexible funds. 

zh-cn	事态不断变化，我们需要尽量灵活地提供最适当的支持。
en-us	Because this is a dynamic situation, we need the greatest flexibility possible to provide the best support possible. 

zh-cn	本着团结互助的精神，我们促请各国不要为这一应对行动指定资金具体用途。
en-us	In the spirit of solidarity, we ask countries not to earmark funds for this response. 

zh-cn	再次感谢大家的支持和承诺。
en-us	Thank you all once again for your support and commitment. 

zh-cn	正像我一直重申的，让我们同舟共济，共克时艰。
en-us	As I keep saying, we’re all in this together. 

zh-cn	谢谢大家。
en-us	I thank you.
