Mr Speaker, there are 3 reasons why the Omicron variant is a threat.
有三个理由让Omicron会是项威胁
The first is that it’s far more transmissible than the Delta variant
第一 远比Delta更强的传染力
We can see this most starkly when looking at how many days it takes for the
number of infections to double for each variant.
For Delta, this was around every 7 days, but for Omicron, based on the latest
data from here and around the world, our latest analysis is that it’s around
between 2.5 and 3 days.
Delta大约每七天 确诊数会翻倍
Omicron只需要2.5-3天
Although there are only 568 confirmed Omicron cases in the UK, we know that
the actual number of infections will be significantly higher.
目前英国只有568例Omicron报告
但我们相信实际感染人数远多于此
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) estimates that the number of infections
will be around 20 times higher than the number of confirmed cases and so the
number of infections is closer to 10,000.
目前估计实际感染人数大约是确诊个案的20倍
所以实际感染目前推估约10000人
UKHSA estimate that at the current observed doubling rate of between 2.5 and
3 days, by the end of this month infections could exceed a million.
到这个月底 英国会超过一百万人感染
Second, severity.
第二 严重度
Even if severity is lower or the same as Delta, high transmissibility means
the Omicron variant can still have a severe impact with the threat of more
hospitalisations and unsustainable pressure on the NHS.
就算Omicron的严重度和Delta相同或是更轻微
超强的传染力仍然会对医疗系统造成无法承担的负荷
Third, we’ve been looking closely at what the Omicron variant means for our
vaccination programme.
第三 疫苗对Omicron的效果
New laboratory data that has emerged in the last 24 hours suggests that there
is lower immunity against Omicron from vaccination when compared to the Delta
variant, so that 2 doses of a vaccine is less effective at reducing
transmission in the community.
目前看到的数据已经可以得知
对比Delta
两剂疫苗对Omicron的防护力 效果更低
So people aged 40 and over – and those in high-risk groups – will be able
to get their booster jab from 3 months after their second dose.
40岁以上 第二剂后三个月就能打第三剂
以下是建议应对措施
First: guidance on working from home.
在家工作指引
Second: certification
疫苗护照
Third: face coverings.
口罩
Fourth: as Omicron spreads in the community, we will also introduce daily
tests for contacts instead of isolation so we keep people safe while
minimising the disruption to daily life.
检验取代隔离
尽量减少对民众的日常生活活动干扰
Fifth: communications.
We’ll be urging caution in all our communications on COVID-19, and keep
urging people to get their booster doses and to follow the little steps that
can to help get this virus under control.
沟通和教育民众 遵守指引 快去打第三剂
Now, as we face this new threat, we must draw on the same spirit that’s got
us here, strengthen our defences and think about what we can do to get this
virus under control.
全新威胁
大家继续努力
