澳洲新闻 (ABC新闻快递) 新冠疫情涉116个国家和地区 韦恩斯坦因性侵被判23年

The Australian Grand Prix hangs in the balance this morning, with major international news outlets¹ reporting it will be postponed² over fears of the spread of coronavirus. The McLaren F1 team pulled out late last night, after one of its employees tested positive for the virus. Seven other Grand Prix team members have been cleared of having the illness, and one is still waiting for test results. Questions are now being raised about other major events in Australia, including ANZAC Day services. Meantime, global stockmarkets have gone into freefall again overnight, amid spiralling concerns about COVID-19.

今天早上，澳大利亚大奖赛能否照常举行仍是未知数，因为主要国际新闻媒体报道称，大奖赛将因人们担心新冠病毒的传播而推迟。昨天深夜，迈凯伦F1车队宣布退出比赛，原因是该车队的一名工作人员在新冠病毒检测中呈阳性。另外7名大奖赛车队成员已排除感染，一名工作人员仍在等待检测结果。现在，人们对澳大利亚的其他大型活动能否举行提出疑问，这包括澳新军团日礼拜仪式。同时，由于对新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）的担忧日益加剧，全球股市一夜之间再次暴跌。
