【恋恋有声】全球一级戒备的奥密克戎？快来看看怎么防！

全文及翻译

03:32①China's existing COVID-19 control measures should be sufficient for tackling the new Omicron variant of the novel coronavirus, a top Chinese health expert said on Sunday.
周日（11月28日），一位中国顶尖卫生健康专家表示，中国现有的疫情防控措施应该足以应对新冠变异毒株奥密克戎。

05:17②Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that it appears to be more contagious than the Delta variant based on modeling.
中国疾病预防控制中心流行病学首席专家吴尊友说，数学模型显示，奥密克戎的传染性比德尔塔还强。

07:52③"But no matter how the virus mutates, regular public health measures, such as wearing masks, maintaining social distancing and hand hygiene, will be effective against all emerging variants," he said during a conference organized by Caijing Magazine.
他在《财经》年会上表示：“不管怎么变异，戴口罩、保持社交距离和手部卫生，这些公共卫生措施对所有变异的毒株都是有效的。”

09:37④"There is no need to be overly concerned about the Omicron variant as it has just emerged and we have not yet understood its potential impact," he said.
他说：“大家对奥密克戎不必过于担心，它刚刚出来，它的真实面貌怎么样，我们还不能完全认识。”

11:06⑤Wu added that whether the Omicron variant replaces the Delta variant as the dominant strain circulating worldwide will depend on its biological characteristics, the mobility of those infected and the implementation of containment measures.
吴尊友补充道，奥密克戎变异毒株会不会超越德尔塔成为全球的主要流行株，取决于它的生物特性、感染者的流动以及疫情防控措施。

13:43⑥"If we can effectively enforce virus control policies and constrain the new variant to specific regions, it is unlikely to become the dominant strain," he said, adding that its development is being closely observed and although the emerging strain might diminish the efficacy of existing vaccines, delivering booster shots can increase immunity and provide greater protection.
他说：“如果我们一开始发现这种毒株后，防控策略有效，把它限制在一定范围内，它就不可能成为全球的主导毒株。”他补充道，对于奥密克戎未来的发展，还需要进一步观察。尽管新变异毒株可能会降低疫苗效力，但通过注射加强针可以提高免疫水平，提供更强的保护力。
