世卫官员：防止禽流感严格控制至关重要 (WHO Official: Containment Crucial in Bird Flu Prevention)
世界卫生组织说，在最初出现有爆发人类感染禽流感迹象时，迅速进行处理可以防止或推迟禽流感流行病。
世卫西太平洋地区负责人表示，一旦出现H5N1型禽流感病毒在人与人之间传播的迹象，就只有2到3个星期的时间采取措施。
他表示，迅速使用抗病毒药物、限制旅行以及施行隔离，可能会有效防止禽流感流行。 他说， 所有国家都有责任实施这些措施。
2003年以来，已有200多人感染禽流感，其中大部份在亚洲，有100多人死亡。
The World Health Organization says rapid intervention at the earliest signs of a bird flu outbreak in humans could prevent or delay a pandemic of the disease.
The agency's director for the Western Pacifici says once there are signs the H5N1 virus is spreading among people, there will be only two or three weeks in which to act.
He says quickly using anti-viral drugs, travel restrictions and quarantines could be effective in preventing an epidemic. He says all nations need to be accountable for such measures.
Since 2003, bird flu has infected more than 200 people, most of them in Asia, and more than 100 have died. |
