>WeChat removes barriers to external links
微信外鏈可在更多場景打開

WeChat, the popular messaging app of Tencent Holdings Ltd, is allowing users to directly access external links in one-on-one chats, the latest answer to Beijing's call to end monopoly and enhance connectivity among internet companies.
微信允許用戶在一對一聊天場景中直接訪問外部鏈接，這是該公司在監(jiān)管部門提出停止壟斷、促進(jìn)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)企業(yè)互聯(lián)互通的要求下推出的最新舉措。微信是騰訊旗下熱門通訊應(yīng)用軟件。

WeChat said it is also testing e-commerce links from external sites to be accessible in group chats, which will go into effect successively.
微信表示，正在群聊場景試行開放電商類外部鏈接直接訪問功能，該功能將陸續(xù)生效。

The current upgrade has scrapped the landing page.
此次升級省去了跳轉(zhuǎn)頁。

>WHO warns against blanket travel bans
世衛(wèi)不建議發(fā)布全面旅行禁令

The World Health Organization warned on Tuesday blanket travel bans will not prevent the international spread of the COVID-19 Omicron variant, even as dozens of countries have already introduced such restrictions.
世界衛(wèi)生組織11月30日說，全面旅行禁令無法阻止新冠變異病毒奧密克戎毒株的國際傳播，目前全球已有數(shù)十個(gè)國家采取了限制旅行的措施。

Although Omicron has been labeled a "variant of concern" by the WHO, it said blanket travel bans will only place a heavy burden on lives and livelihoods, while also "disincentivizing countries to report and share epidemiological and sequencing data."
世衛(wèi)組織表示，雖然他們將奧密克戎毒株列為"需要關(guān)注"的變異毒株，但全面旅行禁令只會(huì)給人民生活和生計(jì)造成沉重負(fù)擔(dān)，抑制各國報(bào)告和分享新冠流行病學(xué)和測序數(shù)據(jù)的積極性。

The Omicron variant was first reported to the WHO by South Africa last week. So far, several countries and regions have confirmed cases of infection with Omicron.
繼上周南非首次向世衛(wèi)組織報(bào)告奧密克戎毒株后，截至目前已有多個(gè)國家和地區(qū)報(bào)告了奧密克戎毒株確診病例。

Dozens of countries have already tightened travel measures, and even suspended flights.

>UNAIDS warns of AIDS-related deaths
未來10年770萬人或死于艾滋病

UNAIDS issued a stark warning on Monday that if leaders fail to tackle inequalities the world could face 7.7 million AIDS-related deaths over the next 10 years.
11月29日，聯(lián)合國艾滋病規(guī)劃署發(fā)出嚴(yán)厲警告，如果各國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人不能解決不平等問題，未來10年，全球或有770萬人死于艾滋病。

Some countries have made "remarkable progress" against AIDS. However, new HIV infections are not falling fast enough globally to stop the pandemic, with 1.5 million new HIV infections in 2020 and growing HIV infection rates in some countries.
一些國家在防治艾滋病方面取得了顯著進(jìn)展，但全球新增艾滋病毒感染人數(shù)的下降速度不足以阻止艾滋病的流行，全球2020年新增艾滋病感染病例150萬例，一些國家的感染率呈現(xiàn)出明顯上升趨勢。

The message comes as the UN Children's Fund reported at least 310,000 children were newly infected with HIV in 2020, or one child every two minutes. Another 120,000 children died from AIDS-related causes during the same period, or one child every five minutes.
另據(jù)聯(lián)合國兒童基金會(huì)統(tǒng)計(jì)，2020年全球至少31萬兒童感染艾滋病毒，12萬兒童死于艾滋病相關(guān)病因。這相當(dāng)于每兩分鐘世界上就有一名兒童感染，每五分鐘就有一名兒童因此死亡。
