100M COVID-19 cases worldwide
全球新冠病例数将达1亿
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.
世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞在1月25日的例行记者会上表示,预计本周全球新冠肺炎确诊病例将达到1亿例。
"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.
他说:“一年以前的今天,全球新冠肺炎确诊病例只有不到1500例,中国之外只有23例。而本周全球新冠肺炎确诊病例将达到1亿例。数字可能会使人麻木,但每个数字背后都是一个人,是某个人的父母、伴侣、子女或者朋友。”他呼吁所有国家在今年前100天内启动对医护人员和老年人的新冠疫苗接种。
According to a new report from the International Labor Organization, which analyzes the impact of the pandemic on the global labor market, some 8.8% of global working hours were lost in 2020, resulting in a decline in global labor income equivalent to $3.7 trillion.
根据国际劳工组织最新发布的一份新冠疫情对全球劳动力市场影响的报告,2020年全球劳动时间因此损失约8.8%,导致全球劳动收入减少约3.7万亿美元。
