The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday that Central and South America have now become intense zones of COVID-19 transmission, and solidarity and support are needed to help them overcome the virus. 世界卫生组织本周一(6月1日)表示,中美洲和南美洲目前已成为新冠病毒密集传播区,国际社会需要团结一致,帮助该地区抗击疫情。 "I would certainly characterize that Central and South America, in particular, have very much become the intense zones of transmission for this virus as we speak, and I don't believe that we have reached the peak in that transmission. And at this point, I cannot predict when we will," Dr. Michael Ryan, executive director of WHO Health Emergencies Programme said in a press conference on Monday in Geneva. 世卫组织卫生紧急项目执行主任迈克尔·瑞安博士本周一在日内瓦召开的资讯发布会上说:“我当然会特别强调中美洲和南美洲,此时已经成为新冠病毒的密集传播区,且疫情高峰仍未到来。目前很难预测该地区疫情何时达到峰值。” |
