100M COVID-19 cases worldwide
全球新冠病例數將達1億
The number of COVID-19 cases worldwide is expected to reach 100 million this week, Director-General of the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
世界衛生組織總干事譚德塞在1月25日的例行記者會上表示,預計本周全球新冠肺炎確診病例將達到1億例。
"A year ago today, fewer than 1,500 cases of COVID-19 had been reported to WHO, including just 23 cases outside China. This week, we expect to reach 100 million reported cases," Tedros said at a WHO press briefing on Monday. "Numbers can make us numb to what they represent: every death is someone's parent, someone's partner, someone's child, someone's friend," he added, and called for vaccination of health workers and older people to be underway in all countries within the first 100 days of 2021.
他說:“一年以前的今天,全球新冠肺炎確診病例只有不到1500例,中國之外只有23例。而本周全球新冠肺炎確診病例將達到1億例。數字可能會使人麻木,但每個數字背后都是一個人,是某個人的父母、伴侶、子女或者朋友?!彼粲跛袊以诮衲昵?00天內啟動對醫護人員和老年人的新冠疫苗接種。
