新冠肺炎疫情 COVID-19 (Pneumonia caused by novel coronavirus )

2020年年初，一場疫情肆虐。我們來看下這個影響了世界的病毒有哪些特點。

1.病毒特點

The virus features

COVID-19 is a new pathogen, which is highly contagious and can spread quickly

該病毒是一種新的病原體，傳染性強、傳播速度快

2. 病毒屬性

Zoonotic origins

COVID-19 is a zoonotic virus, meaning it originated from animals

動物源性病毒

 

Early cases are believed to be infected from a zoonotic source

早期病例是通過動物傳染人。

As of February 25, the animal source has not yet been identified

截至2月25日，尚未查明動物來源。

3. 病毒宿主

Reservoir

Bats appear to be the reservoir of COVID-19 virus, but the intermediate host (s) has not yet been identified

蝙蝠似乎是病毒宿主，但中間宿主尚未查明

4. 傳播途徑

Routes of transmission

The novel coronavirus is transmitted via droplets and formites during close unprotected contact between an infector and infectee

無防護狀態下通過飛沫和密切接觸傳播

 

It can be envisaged if certain aerosol-generating procedures are conducted in healthcare facilities

醫療機構中或可存在因醫療操作產生氣溶膠而發生空氣傳播

5. 傳播來源

Transmission source

 

To date, most of the recorded cases were imported from or had direct links to Wuhan/Hubei

絕大多數病例來自武漢或湖北或與之有直接聯系

 

Community transmission has been very limited. Most locally generated cases have been clustered, the majority of which have occurred in households.

社區傳播非常有限，人際傳播主要在家庭中發生

 

5. 易感人群

Susceptible group

 

Everyone is assumed to be susceptible

幾乎人人易感

聯合考察報告

 

1. 無癥狀感染者

Asymptomatic infections

The proportion of truly asymptomatic infections is unclear

無癥狀感染者的比例尚不明確

 

Appears to be relatively rare

相對較罕見

 

 

2. 患者

Patients

輕重癥人群：多數患者為輕癥可痊愈 ，重癥和死亡高位人群為年齡60歲以上，以及患有基礎病者。

3. 封閉場所疫情

Transmission in closed settings

In prisons and hospitals

場所：監獄、醫院等

The close proximity and contact among people in these settings and the potential for environmental contamination are important factors

傳播的重要因素：人際間的密切接觸；潛在的環境污染

4. For the public

對公眾的建議

Outbreaks can be managed with the right response

采取正確的應對措施，疫情爆發就可得到控制。
