Lockdowns resolute move that needs national support
“封城”:需要國家支持的堅決行動
The rapid spread of the novel coronavirus has sparked fears of a global outbreak, which is why Wuhan and some of its neighbors have been put into lockdown.
新型冠狀病毒的迅速傳播引發(fā)了人們對該病毒在全球范圍內(nèi)爆發(fā)的擔(dān)憂。因此,武漢及其周邊區(qū)域均已被封鎖。
The move, unprecedented in modern times, speaks volumes about the gravity of the situation and the seriousness with which the government is taking the public health threat. This was undoubtedly a difficult decision to make, as it directly affects the lives of the millions of residents in the cities.
這一現(xiàn)代史上前所未有的舉措充分說明了當(dāng)前事態(tài)的嚴(yán)峻性,以及政府對這一公共健康威脅的重視程度;這無疑是一項艱難的決定,因為它將直接影響到這些城市里數(shù)百萬居民的生活。
But it will be conducive to coordinating regional and nationwide efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus, and ensure all infected people are properly treated and those that have come into close contact with them are traced, checked and isolated if necessary.
但是,這將有助于調(diào)度各個區(qū)域和全國范圍內(nèi)的人力物力,遏制冠狀病毒的進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)散,確保所有感染患者得到有效治療,并在必要時追蹤、檢查和隔離與他們有過密切接觸的人群。
The government must ensure that all necessary and available resources are mobilized to bring this pandemic under control.
政府必須確保能夠調(diào)動一切必要、可用資源,讓這一流行病得到控制。
