世界衛(wèi)生組織（WHO）于周一發(fā)布有關(guān)新冠變種奧密克戎的最新消息：鑒于奧密克戎毒株存在免疫逃逸潛力和可能導(dǎo)致傳染性增加，該變異毒株在全球范圍內(nèi)進(jìn)一步傳播的可能性很高，未來可能會出現(xiàn)新冠肺炎病例激增，從而導(dǎo)致某些地方出現(xiàn)“嚴(yán)重后果”的情況，因此將“奧密克戎”毒株的全球總體風(fēng)險評估為“非常高”。
The heavily mutated Omicron coronavirus variant is likely to spread internationally and poses a very high risk of infection surges that could have "severe consequences" in some places, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday. "The overall global risk ...is assessed as very high," the WHO said.

近日，新冠變異病毒奧密克戎的出現(xiàn)令全球防疫面臨新挑戰(zhàn)，很多國家地區(qū)都收緊了防疫措施。
多國報告奧密克戎病例
繼26日比利時報告歐洲首例“奧密克戎毒株”的感染病例后，27日，英國、德國、意大利又相繼確診“奧密克戎變異毒株”感染病例，荷蘭、捷克也報告發(fā)現(xiàn)相關(guān)疑似病例。嚴(yán)防“新冠病毒變異毒株奧密克戎”的擴(kuò)散成為全球防疫新目標(biāo)。
歐洲多國報告發(fā)現(xiàn)奧密克戎病例，歐盟委員會主席稱，奧密克戎讓的出現(xiàn)，讓全世界開始“和時間賽跑”。
德國巴伐利亞州27日報告確診兩例奧密克戎毒株感染病例，患者24日從慕尼黑機(jī)場入境。當(dāng)?shù)匾?，過去14天內(nèi)到過南非的人立即上報、接受核酸檢測、減少與他人接觸。此外，法蘭克福機(jī)場所在的黑森州27日報告一名從南非返德的旅客疑似感染奧密克戎毒株。
The health ministry in the German state of Bavaria also announced two confirmed cases of the variant. The two people entered Germany at Munich airport on November 24, before Germany designated South Africa as a virus-variant area, and were now isolating, said the ministry, indicating without stating explicitly that the people had traveled from South Africa.
意大利米蘭的一家實驗室27日確診一例奧密克戎毒株感染病例，患者家住意大利南部坎帕尼亞大區(qū)的那不勒斯，11日從非洲國家莫桑比克旅行歸來。
In Italy, the National Health Institute said a case of the new variant had been detected in Milan in a person coming from Mozambique.
荷蘭衛(wèi)生部27日宣布，26日從南非約翰內(nèi)斯堡飛抵阿姆斯特丹的兩個航班上共計61名乘客新冠病毒檢測呈陽性，正在分析病毒樣本。
The Dutch public health institute said the variant was "probably found in a number of the tested persons" who were isolated after arriving in Amsterdam on two flights from South Africa on Friday.
捷克27日報告一例疑似感染奧密克戎毒株的病例，該病例此前曾去過非洲國家納米比亞。
The Czech Republic is also examining a suspected case of the Omicron variant detected in a person who spent time in Namibia, the National Institute of Public Health said Saturday.
日本以色列暫停入境
當(dāng)?shù)貢r間11月29日，日本首相岸田文雄宣布，受新冠病毒奧密克戎變異毒株的影響，從30日零時起暫停所有國家和地區(qū)外國人新的入境。
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on Monday that the government will ban the entry of all foreign nationals in principle from Tuesday amid concerns over the new Omicron variant of COVID-19.
岸田文雄在接受日媒采訪時表示，相關(guān)決定旨在避免最糟糕的情況發(fā)生，“暫停外國人入境”的措施將持續(xù)到有關(guān)奧密克戎的信息更加明確為止。日本已經(jīng)禁止了來自包括南非在內(nèi)的九個非洲國家的旅客入境。
Kishida told local media that the decision was made to avoid the worst-case scenario, adding that "It is a temporary measure until information about the Omicron variant becomes clear." Japan has already suspended the exemption for people who have recently been to any of nine African countries including Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe
此前，以色列政府已經(jīng)在周六晚間決定，禁止外國人入境該國，以嚴(yán)防奧密克戎的傳播。以色列由此成為奧密克戎毒株出現(xiàn)以來，全球首個完全向外國人關(guān)閉邊界的國家。
11月26日，以色列發(fā)現(xiàn)首例奧密克戎感染者和2名疑似病例后，11月27日便把50個非洲中、南部國家納入“紅色”區(qū)域，禁止名單內(nèi)國家旅客入境。
以色列內(nèi)閣27日晚舉行會議，批準(zhǔn)了一系列應(yīng)對措施，包括將從29日零時起關(guān)閉唯一的國際機(jī)場——本•古里安機(jī)場兩周，在此期間禁止外國人入境以色列，從國外返回的以色列人必須隔離。以色列國家安全總局將通過手機(jī)追蹤奧密克戎毒株感染者。

On Saturday night, the Israeli government decided to ban the entry of foreign nationals into the country in an attempt to stop the spread of the new variant. The announcement came after a late-night cabinet meeting that discussed reinstatement of restrictions against the pandemic. Israel on Sunday approved controversial technology for tracing people who might have been contracted coronavirus in an effort to prevent the spread of a new Omicron variant. Meanwhile, Israeli citizens arriving from abroad would have to enter quarantine, said the Prime Minister's Office.
目前，至少有44個國家和地區(qū)對一些發(fā)現(xiàn)過病例的非洲國家開啟了旅游禁令。
At least 44 countries and regions have imposed travel restrictions from several African countries.
除針實施旅行禁令，不少國家還重新收緊國內(nèi)防疫措施，恢復(fù)室內(nèi)場所戴口罩、商店縮短營業(yè)時間等規(guī)定。
英國：口罩令重新恢復(fù)
英國衛(wèi)生大臣賽義德•賈維德表示，從30日起，英國英格蘭地區(qū)民眾在商店內(nèi)和搭乘公共交通工具時必須戴口罩。
Face masks will be compulsory in shops and on public transport in England from Tuesday in response to the new Omicron variant.
據(jù)新華社報道，英國政府曾于7月解除英格蘭地區(qū)的口罩令，而蘇格蘭、威爾士和北愛爾蘭地區(qū)政府保留了公交系統(tǒng)和大部分室內(nèi)場所強(qiáng)制戴口罩的規(guī)定。
In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, face coverings are already mandatory on public transport and many indoor areas.
新命令意味著英國全境將統(tǒng)一執(zhí)行這一防疫措施。

英國前一天宣布確認(rèn)境內(nèi)發(fā)現(xiàn)兩例奧密克戎毒株感染病例，兩人之間有關(guān)聯(lián)，而且近期均有南部非洲旅行史。
Officials said the cases were linked and connected to travel in southern Africa, where the new variant was first identified.
盡管加強(qiáng)了入境限制，但是賈維表示，英國當(dāng)前狀況“遠(yuǎn)沒到”重新實施居家辦公等措施的地步，因為實施這類措施可能需要在經(jīng)濟(jì)、社會和民眾心理健康方面付出“沉重代價”。
Javid said he did not think stricter measures needed to be imposed just yet as social distancing and work from home directives "carry a very heavy price, economically, socially, in terms of non-COVID health outcomes, such as the impact on mental health ".
英國首相鮑里斯•約翰遜27日說，當(dāng)前防疫新規(guī)屬“臨時性和預(yù)防性”措施，三周后將重新評估，正好趕在大部分學(xué)校圣誕節(jié)放假之前。
At a Downing Street news conference, Boris Johnson described the measures as "temporary and precautionary" - and said they will be reviewed in three weeks' time, just before most schools break up for the Christmas holidays.
鮑里斯稱需要“減緩?qiáng)W密克戎在英國境內(nèi)的傳播速度”，因為英國采取的入境限制措施“僅能緩沖和推遲新變異毒株的傳播，并不能完全阻止它”。
He added: "We need to slow down the spread of this variant here in the UK, because measures at the border can only ever minimise and delay the arrival of a new variant rather than stop it all together."
衛(wèi)健委：防控策略對奧密克戎變異株仍然有效
針對新冠病毒奧密克戎變異株，我國將采取什么樣的應(yīng)對措施呢？國家衛(wèi)生健康委組織中國疾控中心專家就有關(guān)問題進(jìn)行了解答：
我國的“外防輸入，內(nèi)防反彈”防控策略對奧密克戎變異株仍然有效。中國疾控中心病毒病所已針對奧密克戎變異株建立了特異性核酸檢測方法，并持續(xù)針對可能的輸入病例開展病毒基因組監(jiān)測。上述措施將有利于及時發(fā)現(xiàn)可能輸入我國的奧密克戎變異株。
衛(wèi)健委建議：日常生活中，戴口罩仍然是阻斷病毒傳播的有效方式，對于奧密克戎變異株同樣適用；公眾還需要做好個人健康監(jiān)測；同時減少非必要出入境。
The National Health Commission suggested mask wearing is still the effective way of preventing virus transmission, even for Omicron. It also said that Chinese residents should reduce travel abroad.
