據(jù)路透社消息,世界衛(wèi)生組織總干事譚德塞5月11日宣布,猴痘疫情不再構(gòu)成“國際關(guān)注的突發(fā)公共衛(wèi)生事件”。譚德塞表示,得益于各國快速應(yīng)對,全球在控制猴痘疫情方面取得了穩(wěn)步進(jìn)展。過去三個月上報的猴痘病例數(shù)比之前三個月減少了近90%。
The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday it was ending a 10-month-long global health emergency for mpox, a viral disease that led to confirmed cases in more than a hundred countries.
世界衛(wèi)生組織(WHO)11日表示,將宣布猴痘疫情不再構(gòu)成“國際關(guān)注的突發(fā)公共衛(wèi)生事件”,過去10個月全球100多個國家發(fā)現(xiàn)猴痘確診病例。
The organization declared mpox a public health emergency of international concern in July 2022 and backed its stand in November and February.
WHO于2022年7月宣布猴痘為國際關(guān)注的突發(fā)公共衛(wèi)生事件,并于2022年11月和2023年2月重申其立場。
The WHO's director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, declared the end of the emergency status for the disease based on the recommendation of the organization's emergency committee, which met on Wednesday.
WHO總干事譚德塞根據(jù)10日召開的世衛(wèi)組織緊急委員會會議的建議,宣布猴痘疫情不再構(gòu)成“國際關(guān)注的實(shí)發(fā)公共衛(wèi)生事件”。
The move signals that the crisis due to mpox, which spreads through direct contact with body fluids and causes flu-like symptoms and pus-filled skin lesions, has come under control.
此舉表明,猴痘病毒引發(fā)的危機(jī)已得到控制。猴痘通過與體液直接接觸傳播,癥狀包括流感樣癥狀和膿包皮疹樣皮膚病變。
Nicola Low, vice chair of WHO's emergency committee on mpox, said there was a need to move to a strategy for managing the long-term public health risks of mpox than to rely on emergency measures.
WHO猴痘應(yīng)急委員會副主席尼古拉·洛表示,需要制定一項(xiàng)戰(zhàn)略來管理猴痘的長期公共衛(wèi)生風(fēng)險,而不是依賴應(yīng)急措施。
The transition would mean including mpox response and preparedness under national disease surveillance programs such as those for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, Low said.
洛表示,這一轉(zhuǎn)變意味著猴痘的預(yù)防和應(yīng)對措施應(yīng)像艾滋病和其他性傳播傳染病一樣,被納入國家疾病監(jiān)測計劃。
Almost 90% fewer mpox cases were reported in the past three months, compared with cases in the same duration before that, the WHO chief said.
世衛(wèi)組織負(fù)責(zé)人說,過去三個月報告的猴痘病例較之前三個月減少了近90%。
More than 87,000 mpox cases have been confirmed globally from the beginning of 2022 through May 8 this year, according to the WHO's latest report.
根據(jù)世界衛(wèi)生組織的最新報告,從2022年初到今年5月8日,全球已報告了超過8.7萬例猴痘病例。
