2. NEW COVID-19 CLUSTER EMERGED IN FUJIAN PROVINCE

福建三地突发疫情，防控形势严峻复杂

Now the cluster emerged last Friday in Putian and was suspected to have originated from an individual arriving from overseas.The patient, Mr. Lin, tested positive three days ago -- that was 38 days since he arrived from Singapore. He had finished a 21-day quarantine and tested negative 10 times during that period.

上周五（9月10日），福建省莆田市发现新的疫情，疑似源头为一位入境人员。病例林某某在三天前接受核酸检测，结果为阳性——这是他从新加坡入境后的第38天。此前他已完成了总计21天的集中隔离，其间接受过10次核酸检测，结果均为阴性。

And now the cluster has spread to three cities in Fujian Province. In Quanzhou, 6 out of 7 patients confirmed in the past two days worked in Putian. The seventh case was a close contact of another patient in Putian. In Xiamen, outpatient and ER services were suspended at theFirst Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University after alogistics【后勤】 worker tested positive yesterday. Another individual, Mr. Wu, was confirmed as positive in Xiamen through testing on people in medium and high-risk areas. Wu arrived in Xiamen from Putian by train a week ago. Parts of two city districts have now been locked down.

目前，疫情已经扩散到了福建省的三个城市。泉州市过去两天累计报告的7例确诊病例中，有6例工作地和感染地在莆田市，1例为莆田确诊患者的关联病例。昨日（9月12日），厦门市发现一第三方公司后勤服务人员核酸检测结果为阳性，厦门大学第一附属医院的门急诊服务现已暂停。另一病例吴某某，在厦门的中高风险地区人员筛查中，也被发现核酸检测阳性。吴某某于一周前从莆田乘坐动车抵达厦门。厦门市思明区、同安区的部分区域已经实行了封闭管理。

In the three days since Friday, Fujian has counted a total of 75 cases and carriers. Experts from the National HealthCommission say this is not to be taken lightly as the first case was discovered too late. The transmission chain is spreading through a primary school and a shoe factory in Putian’s rural areas, where pandemic control protocols are weaker.

在上周五之后的三天之内，国家卫健委工作组专家称，福建本轮疫情严峻复杂，原因是首个病例发现过晚。目前疫情已经在防控能力相对薄弱的莆田农村地区传播开来，并形成了小学和鞋厂两个集中传播点。

At the onset of the cluster, we need to strengthen pandemic control in communities. We need to prevent spreading at street level. When people are getting swabbed【用拭子擦拭，核酸检测】 at test sites, they need to be well separated so they don’t infect each other during the process.

疫情初期我们更重要的是，加强这个社区管控措施的严格落地。那么对于路上还有一些人员流动的情况，我们也是要提醒，有序地做好居民引导，尤其是到核酸采样点的过程中，避免人群的聚集，避免人员之间相互交互。

Doctors and nurses were sent to Putian from across the province to support testing, medical treatment and epidemic logical investigation efforts.

全国各地的医护人员纷纷被派往莆田，以支援当地的检测、医疗和流行病学调查工作。
