2020年CRI 全国所有县域均调整为低风险 5月份快递业务量增速超40%

A coronavirus vaccine¹ developed in China has been proven effective in monkeys.

The vaccine made by a Beijing-based biotech company put a crippled virus into an animal's body, forcing its immune system to produce antibodies.

The vaccine has been undergoing human tests in China since mid-April.

China has classified all the country's counties as low-risk for the novel coronavirus disease.

The move comes as no domestic cases have been reported in the Chinese mainland for four consecutive² days, and no new deaths for 22 consecutive days.

However, the health authorities are still warning of "a lot of uncertainties³" of the epidemic⁴ situation.

The Nature magazine says China reduced the COVID-19 infections by 67 fold.

The article says if China did nothing to contain the novel coronavirus outbreak, there could have been more than seven million COVID-19 patients in the country by late February.

The study also suggests social distancing can greatly help reducing cases after travel restrictions⁵ are lifted.

Russia has reported a record of some 11-thousand new confirmed cases of COVID-19 over the past 24 hours.

This takes the total confirmed cases to nearly 180,000.

Moscow, the country's worst-hit region, confirmed over 6,700 new cases in one day.

It is being reported that medical examiners in Chicago are planning to probe deaths involving heart attacks and pneumonia⁶ for evidence of COVID-19 as far back as November.

Chicago reported its first known death on March 16.

It comes as a mayor in New Jersey⁷ claimed he was infected by the virus in November, about two months before the first confirmed case in the United States.

Foreign Ministry⁸ Spokesperson Hua Chunying says China has decided⁹ to join the international collaboration¹⁰ initiative launched by the World Health Organization to combat COVID-19.

She says that China firmly supports the WHO's leading role in global anti-pandemic cooperation, and will contribute in the research and production of medical products for COVID-19.

"Viruses know no borders. All peoples of the world deserve equal access to vaccines¹¹ and medicines. Since the outbreak, China has shared the genetic¹² sequence of the novel coronavirus with other countries in a timely manner, built platforms to share data and scientific research results, and actively¹³ carried out international cooperation on drug and vaccine research and development."

Last month, the WHO launched an international collaboration to accelerate the development, production and equitable¹⁴ distribution of vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics for COVID-19.

The head of the World Health Organization has urged countries lifting coronavirus restrictions to carefully manage the transition to avoid r?eturning to lockdown.

Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus addressed the steps needed before countries lift measures put in place to curb¹⁵ the spread of the virus.

"The risk of returning to lockdown remains¹⁶ very real if countries do not manage the transition extremely carefully and in a phased approach."

The WHO chief stressed the need for more investment in health systems to save lives later.

He points out that the coronavirus crisis has exacerbated¹⁷ existing inequalities in many countries.

China's exports of goods rebounded¹⁸ last month, adding to signs that the country's foreign trade is stabilizing¹⁹ amid further containment²⁰ of COVID-19.

Exports rose 8.2 percent year on year, compared with a drop of 11.4-percent in the first quarter.

Meanwhile, imports fell 10.2 percent last month.

In the first four months, foreign trade of goods totaled 9 trillion yuan, down 4.9 percent compared with the same period of last year.

China's courier sector²¹ saw an almost 40-percent increase in its business volume during the May Day holiday.

The State Post Bureau says the booming online sales of food, daily necessities and electronic devices has stimulated²² small-and medium-sized enterprises to quick work resumption.

Online sales of agricultural products has also maintained fast growth thanks to sufficient supply and demand.

中国研发的一种冠状病毒疫苗被证明对猴子有效。

中国已将全国所有县域均调整为新冠病毒低风险。

此前，中国大陆连续4天无本土病例报告，连续22天无新增死亡病例。

不过，卫生部门仍警告称，疫情还有“诸多不确定性”。

《自然》杂志称，中国将新冠肺炎感染病例减少了67倍。

该文章称，如果中国未采取措施遏制新冠病毒的爆发，到2月下旬，中国可能有超过700万新冠肺炎患者。

研究还表明，在取消出行限制后，社交距离可以大大帮助减少病例。

俄罗斯报告称，在过去24小时内，俄罗斯新增约1.1万名新冠肺炎确诊病例，创下记录。

这使确诊病例总数达到近18万例。

莫斯科是俄罗斯疫情最严重的地区，一天之内确诊超过6700例新增病例。

报道称，芝加哥的医学检查人员正计划对涉及心脏病和肺炎的死亡病例进行调查，寻找最早可追溯到11月出现的新冠肺炎证据。

芝加哥在3月16日报告了首例已知死亡病例。

此前，新泽西州一位市长称自已在去年11月就感染了新冠病毒，这比美国首例确诊病例要早约两个月。

外交部发言人华春莹表示，中国已决定加入世界卫生组织发起的国际协作倡议，共同抗击新冠肺炎。

她表示，中方坚定支持世卫组织在全球抗疫合作中发挥领导作用，并将为新冠肺炎医疗产品的研究和生产贡献力量。

“病毒无国界，各国人民都有权利平等获得疫苗和药物。疫情发生以后，中国第一时间同世界各国共享新冠病毒基因组信息、搭建数据和科研成果共享平台、积极开展药物及疫苗研发国际合作。”

上个月，世卫组织就加速新冠肺炎疫苗和药物研发、生产和公平分配发出全球合作倡议。

世界卫生组织总干事敦促解除冠状病毒限制措施的国家谨慎管理过渡期，避免重回封城状态。

总干事特德罗斯·阿达诺姆·盖布雷耶苏斯谈到了各国在取消遏制病毒传播的措施前需要采取的步骤。

“如果各国不以极其谨慎且分阶段的方式管理过渡时期，那么重新回到封城的风险仍然存在。”

世卫组织总干事强调，需要在卫生体系上投入更多，以挽救生命。

他指出，冠状病毒危机加剧了许多国家现在的不平等现象。

4月份，中国货物出口出现反弹，这表明，在进一步遏制新冠肺炎的情况下，我国的对外贸易正在趋于稳定。

4月出口较去年同期增长8.2%，而第一季度下降了11.4%。

同时，上个月进口下降了10.2%。

今年前4个月，货物贸易总值9万亿元，比去年同期下降4.9%。

五一假期期间，中国快递业务量增长近40%。
