新冠肺炎疫情正在美国洛杉矶肆虐，但当地仍有不少民众无视防疫规定在房屋内举行大型聚会。为了对付一些“不听话”的民众，该市想出了新招：给举行大型聚会的房屋断水断电。 Shaun Montero@notsazuki/unsplash The mayor of Los Angeles has said the city will be authorised to shut off water and power to properties where large parties and gatherings are held despite restrictions imposed to curb the spread of coronavirus. 洛杉矶市长表示，该市将被授权切断大型聚会和集会场所的水电供应，尽管已采取了限制新冠病毒传播的措施。 It's meant to deter them from hosting parties or events in the future, during a period of the pandemic when California continues to lead the country in coronavirus cases. 这是为了阻止他们今后在疫情期间举办聚会或活动。加州的新冠肺炎确诊病例在美国各州仍处于前列。 Eric Garcetti said house parties had become "nightclubs in the hills" and that the focus would be on gatherings "posing significant public dangers". 埃里克·加希提说，家庭聚会已经变成了“山上的夜总会”，这项措施的重点将放在那些“对公众构成重大危险”的聚会上。 The rule comes into force on Friday.该规定将于周五 Starting this Friday, if the Los Angeles Police Department responds and confirms that a large gathering is taking place at a property, they'll give notice and request that the city's Department of Water and Power shuts off service to that property within the next two days. |
