zh-cn	大家好，谢谢你们参加周六新闻通报会。
en-us	Good afternoon everybody, thank you for joining us on a Saturday.

zh-cn	今天，我要打破常规，先讲一讲刚果民主共和国埃博拉疫情。
en-us	Today I am going to break with tradition and start with a brief update on the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). 

zh-cn	与新型冠状病毒一样，埃博拉病毒病是世卫组织发动全球抗击行动的众多疾病之一。
en-us	Along with novel coronavirus, it is one of the many disease outbreaks that WHO is combatting around the world. 

zh-cn	世卫组织突发事件部门目前在同时处理216起突发事件。
en-us	At this moment, our Emergencies division is dealing with 216 ongoing events.

zh-cn	自2月初以来，刚果民主共和国发生了三例埃博拉病例。
en-us	Since the start of February, there have been three cases of Ebola in the DRC. 

zh-cn	只要在刚果民主共和国任何地方还有病例，就说明在该国境内传播以及传播至邻国的风险仍然很高，所以，现在还不能放松警惕。
en-us	It is clearly too soon to celebrate while there are cases anywhere in DRC, because the risk of spread within the country and to neighboring countries remains very high.  

zh-cn	但我们看到了积极趋势。
en-us	But we see a positive trend.  

zh-cn	这方面的进展是值得肯定的。
en-us	However, the progress deserves recognition. 

zh-cn	尽管仍面临安全挑战，应急人员（其中大多是当地人）因地制宜，提高了应对行动的有效性和民众接受度。
en-us	Despite ongoing security challenges, responders – the majority of whom are local people – have adapted and localized the response to increase its effectiveness and acceptance. 

zh-cn	治疗方法改进后，死亡率大幅降低。随着治疗方法的改进，以及已获批准的安全有效疫苗的供应，应对措施力度显著增强，
en-us	Side-by-side with improved therapeutics -- which are substantially decreasing mortality, as well as a safe and effective vaccine that has now been licensed -- the response has dramatically been strengthened over time 

zh-cn	这为今后应对埃博拉和其他疾病暴发提供了防范蓝图。
en-us	and provides a preparedness blueprint to fight future Ebola and other disease outbreaks. 

zh-cn	我们必须在刚果民主共和国再接再厉，结束这场埃博拉疫情。展望未来，我们必须投资建设有抵御力的强大卫生系统，以便能够在未来出现疫情后迅速扑灭疫情。
en-us	We must use the momentum in the DRC to finish off this Ebola outbreak and then look to the future by investing in building a strong and resilient health system that can quickly snuff out outbreaks in the future. 

zh-cn	我要借此机会感谢刚果民主共和国政府发挥了领导作用，并感谢正在努力抗击埃博拉疫情的卫生工作者和应急人员以及各合作伙伴。
en-us	I would like to use this opportunity to thank the Government of the DRC for its leadership and to health workers and responders and all partners who have supported the fight against Ebola.

zh-cn	关于新型冠状病毒，最新数据是，截至今天早些时候，中国共有34598例确诊病例，723例死亡。
en-us	On the new coronavirus, here are the latest figures: As of earlier today, there were 34 598 confirmed cases in China, and 723 deaths.

zh-cn	在中国以外，24个国家共有288例确诊病例，其中1例死亡。
en-us	Outside China, there were 288 cases in 24 countries, with 1 death.

zh-cn	我还想指出的是，在抗击新型冠状病毒疫情中，应注重事实，而不是陷入恐惧。
en-us	I would also like to speak briefly about the importance of facts not fear in the new coronavirus outbreak. 

zh-cn	人们必须获得准确信息，才能保护自己和他人。
en-us	People must have access to accurate information to protect themselves and others. 

zh-cn	新型冠状病毒传播期间，错误信息会增添勇敢的医务人员工作的难度。
en-us	While the virus spreads, misinformation makes the job of our heroic health workers even harder. 

zh-cn	这还会转移决策者注意力，造成混乱，并引起公众恐慌。
en-us	It is diverting the attention of decision makers. And it causes confusion and spreads fear to the general public. 

zh-cn	世卫组织不仅在抗击这一病毒，
en-us	At WHO, we’re not just battling the virus; 

zh-cn	还在努力辟谣，驳斥那些影响疫情应对工作的错误信息和各种阴谋论。
en-us	we’re also battling the trolls and conspiracy theorists that push misinformation and undermine the outbreak response. 

zh-cn	正如英国《卫报》今天头条所说的那样，“冠状病毒问题错误信息可能最具传染性。”
en-us	As a Guardian headline noted today, “Misinformation on the coronavirus might be the most contagious thing about it.”

zh-cn	世卫组织及其合作伙伴正采取以下四种方法予以反击。
en-us	However, WHO and partners are fighting back with a four-pronged approach. 

zh-cn	首先，我们利用世卫组织现有的流行病信息网络EPI-WIN开展工作。
en-us	First, we’re leveraging our existing network called EPI-WIN – which stands for WHO Information Network for Epidemics. 

zh-cn	世卫组织的风险沟通和“谣言流行病”管控团队负责以多种语言大力跟踪错误信息。
en-us	The WHO’s risk communications and ‘infodemic’ management team actively trackmisinformation, in multiple languages,

zh-cn	其次，世卫组织的“谣言流行病”管控团队与通讯交流司联手，向广泛公众传递正确信息。
en-us	Second, WHO’s ‘infodemics’ team is working hand in glove with our communications department to deliver information to a broader public audience. 

zh-cn	这包括通过本组织网站、社交渠道和新闻媒体以及专家问答直播，以消除谣言。 
en-us	This includes addressing rumors by publishing “myth busters” and Live Q&A interviews with experts -- on our website and social channels and through the media. 

zh-cn	第三，我们还与脸书、谷歌、腾讯、百度、推特、抖音、微博、拚趣等搜索引擎、社交媒体和数字公司合作。
en-us	Third, we are also engaging with search, social and digital companies such as Facebook, Google, Tencent, Baidu, Twitter, TikTok, Weibo, Pinterest and others. 

zh-cn	我们要求它们滤掉虚假信息，传递世卫组织、疾控中心和其他可靠来源提供的准确信息。
en-us	We are asking them to filter out false information and promote accurate information from credible sources like WHO, CDC and others. 

zh-cn	我们对这些公司迄今所做的努力表示感谢。 
en-us	And we thank them for their efforts so far.

zh-cn	我们还与Instagram和YouTube等很有影响力的网络平台联络，协助向其用户尤其是亚太地区的用户传播正确信息。
en-us	Finally, we are connecting with influencers, through Instagram and YouTube, among others, to help spread factual messages to their followers, with a focus on the Asia-Pacific region.

zh-cn	总之，为对付大量错误信息，我们正联合各方力量传播事实和戳穿谣言。
en-us	In essence, to fight the flood of misinformation, we are building a band of truth-tellers that disperse fact and debunk myths.  

zh-cn	最后，自我们为推动新型冠状病毒应对行动发起6.75亿美元募捐呼吁以来，一些捐款方在过去几天里作出捐款，我们对此表示感谢。
en-us	Before concluding, I want to thank those donors who have made contributions in the past few days since we launched the US$675 million appeal to fuel the new coronavirus response. 

zh-cn	确保世卫组织及其主要合作伙伴有充足资金开展各项新型冠状病毒应对活动非常重要。
en-us	It is really important to make sure that all activities of the response are adequately funded at WHO and key partners. 

zh-cn	迄今为止，美国、英国、比尔及梅林达·盖茨基金会、荷兰、捷克共和国、日本和威康信托基金等已提供捐款，我要向它们表示感谢。
en-us	Just to mention the donors so far and to thank them: the US, the UK, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Japan and the Wellcome Trust.

zh-cn	但应对工作需要更多资金，我们呼吁各方慷慨捐助。
en-us	But the response requires more funding and we call upon all donors to please step up.

zh-cn	谢谢大家。
en-us	I thank you.
