冠狀病毒
風險提示—您需要知道的
2019年新型冠狀病毒（COVID-19）是在中國武漢首次發現的一種病毒，已引起呼吸系統疾病的爆發。當前的疫情已在國際上蔓延，影響了越來越多的國家。在美國，已經發現旅行者中攜帶進口的冠狀病毒感染病例，並且在從中國返回的旅行者的親密接觸者中也看到了人與人之間的病毒傳播。 2020年2月25日，美國疾病預防控制中心（CDC）證實了一名患者的COVID-19，據報導他沒有相關的旅行經歷或暴露於另一名已知患者。
根據疾病控制與預防中心（CDC）的數據，美國大多數人幾乎沒有立即暴露於該病毒的風險。該病毒目前在美國尚未廣泛傳播。但是，人與人之間的傳播很可能會繼續發生，並且在某些時候，COVID-19將在美國廣泛傳播。
行動步驟
1.隨時了解最新信息–冠狀病毒情況不定，CDC每天都在更新其網站，以提供給公眾最新信息和建議。
2.請記住要採取每天建議採取的預防措施，以預防呼吸道病毒的傳播：
*避免與病人密切接觸。
*生病時，盡可能限制與他人的接觸。如果您生病了，請待在家裡。
*咳嗽或打噴嚏時要掩住鼻子和嘴巴。避免觸摸眼睛，鼻子和嘴巴。細菌以這種方式傳播。
*清潔和消毒可能被細菌污染的表面和物體。
*經常用肥皂和水洗手至少20秒鐘。如果沒有肥皂和水，請使用至少60％酒精的酒精基手霜。
*疾病預防控制中心和國務院已發布諮詢，要求人們此時避免前往中國和韓國的所有不必要的旅行。日本，意大利和伊朗也發出了旅行警報。
鑑於COVID-19的形勢日新月異，請謹慎地重新考慮貴組織的應急準備計劃，包括任何大流行計劃。 CDC已為社區和基於信仰的組織，教育機構，工作場所和個人家庭提供了大流行前的規劃指南。

Coronavirus — What You Need to Know
The 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a virus first detected in Wuhan, China, that has caused an outbreak of respiratory illness. The current outbreak has spread internationally, impacting an increasing number of countries. In the United States, imported cases of coronavirus infection in travelers have been detected and person-to-person spread of the virus also has been seen among close contacts of returned travelers from China. On February 25, 2020, the CDC confirmed COVID-19 in an individual who reportedly did not have relevant travel history or exposure to another known patient.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most people in the United States have little immediate risk of exposure to this virus. The virus is not currently spreading widely in the United States. However, it is likely that person-to-person spread will continue to occur and that, at some point, widespread transmission of COVID-19 in the United States will occur.
Action Steps
- Stay informed – the situation with the coronavirus is fluid and the CDC is updating its website daily with the latest information and advice for the public.
- Remember to take everyday preventive actions that are always recommended to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses:
- Avoid close contact with sick people.
- While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible. Stay home if you are sick.
- Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub with at least 60% alcohol.
- The CDC and State Department have issued advisories asking people to avoid all nonessential travel to China and South Korea at this time. Travel alerts have also been issued for Japan, Italy and Iran.
Given the rapidly-evolving situation with COVID-19, it is prudent to revisit your organization’s emergency preparedness plans, including any pandemic planning. The CDC has made pre-pandemic planning guides available for community and faith-based organizations, educational institutions, workplaces and individual households.
