世界卫生组织2日表示,奥密克戎毒株仍在全球广泛传播,目前还没到宣布新冠大流行紧急阶段结束的时候。

The World Health Organization (WHO) said Friday that the world was "much closer" to end the emergency phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, while also warning that Omicron was still circulating rampantly around the world.


当地时间12月2日,世卫组织总干事谭德塞在记者会上表示,据世卫组织估计,由于有过感染或接种疫苗,目前世界上至少90%的人口对新冠病毒有一定程度的免疫力。


WHO estimates that at least 90% of the world’s population now has some level of immunity to SARS-CoV-2, due to prior infection or vaccination.


谭德塞说:“我们现在距离能够宣布新冠大流行紧急阶段结束的那一刻更近了,但我们还没走到那一步。”

 

"We are much closer to being able to say that the emergency phase of the pandemic is over -- but we're not there yet," said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at a press briefing.


谭德塞表示,“病毒监测、检测、测序及疫苗接种方面仍存在差距,容易导致新变种毒株的发展,甚至可能导致大规模死亡。”


 "Gaps in surveillance, testing, sequencing and vaccination are continuing to create the perfect conditions for a new variant of concern to emerge that could cause significant mortality," Tedros added.


世界卫生组织的统计数据显示,在过去五周中,每周死亡人数略有下降,但在过去一周中,超过8500人失去了生命。


WHO's statistics has shown that the number of weekly deaths reported to it has declined slightly over the past five weeks, but more than 8,500 people lost their lives last week.


世卫组织卫生紧急项目技术负责人玛丽亚·范克尔克霍夫说,仅上周各国就向世卫组织报告了超过250万例新增病例,但这个数字严重低估了病毒在世界各地的传播。


According to Maria Van Kerkhove, technical lead of the WHO's Health Emergencies Program, at least 2.5 million cases worldwide were reported to WHO in the last week alone, but that number was a gross under-estimate of the circulation of the virus around the world.

她表示,60岁以上人群、基础病患者、免疫力低下人群、一线医卫人员等高危人群的疫苗接种率仍未实现百分之百的目标,这需要各国政府关注。


"So people over the age of 60, people with underlying conditions, immunocompromised and our frontline workers ... We have not yet reached that target of a hundred percent of (vaccinating) at-risk people around the world in every country. And this is what we want governments to focus on," said Van Kerkhove.


世卫组织卫生紧急项目执行主任迈克尔·瑞安表示,奥密克戎毒株传播性很强,各国都必须依据其风险评估及其掌握的防疫工具来应对疫情。
