不用...戴口罩了?

World Health Organization officials Monday said they still recommend people not wear face masks unless they are sick with Covid-19 or caring for someone who is sick.

世界卫生组织官员星期一说,他们仍然建议人们不要戴口罩,除非他们感染了新冠病毒或者需要去照顾生病的人。

"There is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any potential benefit. In fact, there's some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly," Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO health emergencies program, said at a media briefing in Geneva, Switzerland, on Monday.

“没有具体的证据表明,大众戴口罩有任何潜在的好处。事实上,有一些证据表明戴口罩不当或戴得不合适恰恰相反,”世界卫生组织紧急卫生项目执行主任麦克·瑞恩博士周一在瑞士日内瓦举行的新闻发布会上说。

"There also is the issue that we have a massive global shortage," Ryan said about masks and other medical supplies.

瑞安在谈到口罩和其他医疗用品时说:“还有一个问题,那就是我们在全球范围内口罩都严重短缺。”

"Right now the people most at risk from this virus are frontline health workers who are exposed to the virus every second of every day. The thought of them not having masks is horrific."

他说:“目前,受到这种病毒威胁最大的是第一线的卫生工作者,他们每天每一秒都接触到这种病毒。一想到他们没有戴面具,我就觉得可怕。”

Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, an infectious disease epidemiologist with the WHO, also said at Monday's briefing that it is important "we prioritize the use of masks for those who need it most," which would be frontline health care workers.

世界卫生组织的传染病流行病学家玛瑞亚·范·科克霍夫博士也在周一的新闻发布会上说,“我们优先为那些最需要口罩的人使用口罩,”这很重要,这些人就是第一线的卫生保健工作者。

"In the community, we do not recommend the use of wearing masks unless you yourself are sick and as a measure to prevent onward spread from you if you are ill," Van Kerkhove said.

范·科克霍夫说:“在社区,我们不建议使用口罩,除非你自己生病了,作为一种预防疾病传播的措施。

"The masks that we recommend are for people who are at home and who are sick and for those individuals who are caring for those people who are home that are sick," she said.

她说:“我们推荐的口罩是为那些在家和生病的人,以及那些照顾那些在家生病的人的人准备的。”

World Health Organization officials warned at a media briefing last week that globally there is a "significant shortage" of medical supplies, including personal protective gear or PPE, for doctors.

世界卫生组织官员在上星期的一次媒体吹风会上警告说,在全球范围内,供医生使用的包括个人防护装备或个人防护装备在内的医疗用品“严重短缺”。

"We need to be clear," Van Kerkhove said last week.

“我们需要弄清楚,”范·科霍夫上周表示。

"The world is facing a significant shortage of PPE for our frontline workers -- including masks and gloves and gowns and face shields -- and protecting our health care workers must be the top priority for use of this PPE."

“世界正面临前线工作人员的防护物品严重短缺——包括面罩、手套、长袍和面罩——保护我们的医护人员必须是使用这种防护物品的首要任务。”
