COVID resurgence in China unlikely
疫情不會出現大幅反彈
It is highly unlikely China will experience a major resurgence of the novel coronavirus during the upcoming Spring Festival, given that the nation has created containment measures to quickly identify, isolate and control any possible outbreaks, a health official said on Wednesday.
1月13日,國務院聯防聯控機制召開新聞發佈會,中國疾控中心副主任馮子健表示,春節期間新冠疫情應該不會出現大規模反彈,因為我國已經部署了各項措施,對可能出現的疫情能第一時間發現、隔離和控制。
Feng Zijian, deputy director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said the center has gained more understanding of the novel coronavirus in the fight against the epidemic over more than a year.
馮子健説,經過與新冠肺炎疫情鬥爭一年多,我們對新冠病毒有了較多的認識。
Large population movements and concentrations during Spring Festival, and an increasing number of parcels being delivered, will add to the risk of COVID-19 infection.
春節期間人員流動大、聚集性活動多,同時物流加大,將增加疫情傳播的風險。
However, as long as epidemic containment measures are strictly implemented, there will not be a large resurgence of the COVID-19 epidemic, he said at a news conference held by the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council.
但只要我們嚴格落實防控措施,就可以確保不發生大規模疫情反彈。
