来看下则新闻，昨天，一架从中国武汉出发的包机抵达美国加利福尼亚州。这是美国政府在约一周内安排的三架航班中的一架，机上178名乘客将在特拉维斯空军基地进行隔离。

This is the first time in more than 50 years that a quarantine order was issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. It's trying to protect Americans from the widely spreading Wuhan corona² virus which has infected more than 24,500 people worldwide and killed more than 490 of them.

这是美国疾病控制中心50余年来首次颁布检疫令。此举旨在保护美国公民免受广泛传播的冠状病毒的影响，该病毒已致全球2.45万人感染，超过490人死亡。

It's about a 2 percent death rate from the virus. Many who have gotten it has recovered. The vast majority of the cases are in China where the virus was first identified in mid-December. And the country has just finished the first of two hospitals it's built specifically for Wuhan corona virus patients.
