WHO says slow easing of lockdowns paramount

Updated May 12, 2020

The World Health Organization said on Monday that a slow, steady easing of lockdown measures will be key in stimulating economies while keeping a vigilant eye on the novel coronavirus.

世卫组织周一表示，缓慢、稳定地放松封锁措施将是对新冠病毒保持警惕的同时又能刺激经济发展的关键。

The organization, known as the WHO, had received reports of more than 4 million cases of COVID-19 across the world by Monday.

The WHO's director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said many countries have used the lockdown time to ramp up their ability to test, trace, isolate, and care for patients, which he said is the best way to track the virus, slow the spread, and take pressure off the health systems.

截止周一，世卫组织收到了全球超过400万例新冠肺炎病例的报告。世卫组织总干事谭德塞说，许多国家利用封锁时间提高了检测、追踪、隔离和护理病人的能力，他说，这是追踪病毒、减缓传播和减轻卫生系统压力的最佳途径。

"The good news is that there has been a great deal of success in slowing the virus and ultimately saving lives," he said from Geneva during a virtual news conference while noting that strong lockdown measures have come at a cost, with serious social and economic impact and a detrimental effect on many people's lives.

他在日内瓦举行的一次虚拟新闻发布会上说：“好消息是，在减缓病毒传播并最终拯救生命方面取得了巨大成功，同时指出，强有力的封锁措施是要付出代价的，会带来严重的社会和经济影响，对许多人的生活产生不利影响。

In addition to its earlier criteria for lifting lockdown measures, the WHO published further guidance on the weekend regarding both school and work places reopening to address the issue.

除了早先解除封锁措施的标准外，世卫组织周末还公布了关于学校和工作场所重新开放的进一步指导意见以解决这一问题。
