新病毒已傳到美國

首例奧密克戎新型病毒週三在舊金山證實有首名被感染者， 這是在南非發現後首次傳染到了美國 ，引起各界之強烈關注。

公衛專家們表示 ，這位感染者目前狀況穩定 ，沒有跡象顯示傳染給他人， 有關單位正在緊急研究病毒之防疫方法， 並加強要求大家要戴上囗罩 ，趕快去打種疫苗及加強疫苗之種植，以防止進一步擴散。

在这場疫情造成世界各國第四次之重大变種病毒， 引起世界各國之恐懼因而紛紛關閉機場 ，聯合國秘書長對此表示異議 ，他認為此舉將對世界経濟有非常不利之影響。

第二個病例週四也在密尼蘇打州發現， 据稱他也曾経接種过疫苗 ，公衛單位正在大加宣揚大家要立即去接種疫苗。

拜登總統面對新的挑戰 將有新的措施 ，其中包括所有到達美國的旅客必須接種了疫苗， 並且要求在公共交通工具上必須戴口罩之限令從一月底延到三月底， 並將繼續深入社區團體，為年長的國人加緊種植疫苗。

總統同意宣布將幫忙所有家庭進行核酸檢測 ，並在全國組成六十個緊急救難隊伍， 隨時待命。

公衛專家們十分擔心， 這個無空不如的新病毒， 其傳染速度十分驚人， 而許多國家還十分短缺疫苗。

我們要呼籲世界衛生組織要更積極動員起來， 富有之國家也更要伸出援手， 因為我們居住在地球村， 無一能幸免這場災難。

Omicron Coronavirus Confirmed In The U.S.

Two confirmed cases of the Omicron variant have been confirmed in San Francisco and in Minnesota. The person in California was fully vaccinated and is experiencing mild symptoms.

The World Health Organization designates Omicron as a “variant of concern.” It was first identified in South Africa, but has since been detected around the globe.

President Biden called the variant a “cause for concern and not a cause for panic.” He is urging the people to get vaccinated or get a booster shot as soon as possible.

The White House also issued new measures including a national campaign for booster shots, hundreds of new family vaccination sites, at-home testing covered by insurance going forward and tens of millions of free at-homes tests.

Any signs of transmission from the virus are still in the process of investigation, but public health officials want people to continue indoor masking and to get tested to prevent the spread.

Today we are really worried about most of the countries still needing to get more vaccine for their people such as South Africa. If they don’t have enough vaccine, how can they ever prevent the spread?

This is a worldwide issue. No country can be out of trouble unless we all work together.
