美国统一各州埃博拉防控措施.pptx

WASHINGTON — The federal government on Monday announced a new set of monitoring guidelines for people arriving from West Africa that stopped short of the tough measures instituted in New York and New Jersey last week, an effort to bring uniformity to a messy patchwork of responses by states. 华盛顿——周 一，联邦政府针对来自西非的人员，公布了一套新的监控指导方针。此举旨在让各州的响应措施趋于统一，摆脱目前混乱无序的局面。但这些方针的严厉程度，不及纽约州和新泽西州上个星期出台的措施。 The new policy, which federal health officials said was an effort to strike a balance between safety and civil liberties, would require returning heath care workers, or people who had been near Ebola patients, to submit to an in-person checkup and a phone call from a local public health authority. 联邦卫生官员称，新的政策是为了在安全和公民自由之间取得平衡。该政策将要求从西非回国的医护工作者或曾经接触埃博拉患者的人， 接受当地公共卫生官员的亲自检查和电话调查。 That is looser than the stay-home quarantine policies in New York and New Jersey, and many believed that the long-awaited federa l response would be unlikely to satisfy the governors of those states, who believe the government needs to be more proactive in preventing potential E bola patients from spreading the virus. 这种做法比纽约州和新泽西州采取的居家隔离政策更加宽松，许多人认为，这个期待已久的联邦响应措施，不太可能令这些州的州长满意。后者认为，政府需要更积极地防止潜在的埃博拉患者传播该病毒。 Dr. Thomas Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who announced the new measures, said: We believed these are based on science.
