谭德塞

世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞博士4月16日警告称，“病例和死亡数量正在以令人担忧的速度持续增加”。

WHO chief Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned on Friday that " cases and deaths are continuing to increase at worrying rates " .

就在此前一天，世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞警告称，全世界正接近迄今为止的“最高感染率”。

The milestone comes the day after the head of the World Health Organization ( WHO ) warned the world was " approaching the highest rate of infection " so far .

谭德塞形容说，疫苗的快速发展就好像大流行期间的一剂“强心针”。他表示，虽然近50个富裕国家已接种3900万剂疫苗，但一个最低收入国家只得到25剂。

Describing the rapid development of vaccines as a literal and figurative " shot in the arm " during the pandemic , Tedros reported that while 39 million doses have been administered in nearly 50 richer countries , only 25 have been given in one lowest income nation .
