北京上调疫情响应级别，恢复各项防控措施
Schools Shut in Beijing as CoronavirusFlares
Beijing raised its level of health alert tothe second highest on Tuesday, ordering schools to close and urging people towork from home as China’s government pressed to extinguish a spike incoronavirus infections menacing the capital.
周二，北京将突发公共卫生事件应急响应级别调至二级，命令学校停课，并敦促人们在家工作。与此同时，中国政府敦促消灭首都新冠病毒感染激增的威胁。
The city announced the intensified healthemergency footing late in the day, after having revealed that medicalauthorities confirmed another 27 infections from the virus, creating a total of106 cases since last week, all traced to the sprawling Xinfadi wholesale foodmarket in the city’s south. Early Wednesday, 31 more cases were reported,bringing the total to 137.
在公布又有27例确诊病例的消息后，当天晚些时候，北京宣布加强卫生响应级别。自上周以来，北京共出现106例病例，所有病例都可追溯到城南庞大的新发地农产品批发市场。周三早间，官方再次报告了31例新病例，使累计病例数达到137例。
“Epidemic trends in Beijing are very grim,” , a deputy secretary-generalof the Beijing government, said at a news conference announcing the upgradedemergency response. She said that the new plethora of measures to haltinfections were not intended to strangle economic life.
北京市政府副秘书长在上调卫生响应级别的新闻发布会上宣布：“北京疫情形势十分严峻。”她说，遏制疫情的新措施并不是要扼杀经济生活。
“A level two response doesn’t require stopping production and work,”she said. “It’s encouraging remote and flexible work."
“二级应急响应级别下不需要停工停产，”她说。“鼓励远程、居家等弹性办公。”
Even so, the decision to raise the level ofalert and shut schools was a potentially embarrassing and disruptive reversalfor the government. Beijing had lowered its alert level for public healththreats just 10 days earlier. Many grades had restarted over previous weeks,while others were just about to resume when this outbreak prompted authoritiesto postpone a restart.
即便如此，提高响应级别和学校停课的决定，对于政府来说可能是一个令人尴尬和带有破坏性的逆转。北京在10天前刚刚降低了公共卫生事件响应级别。在过去几周，许多年级的学生已经重新上课，就在其他年级恢复时，新暴发的疫情促使当局推迟开学。
In recent days, Beijing had alreadyreinstated some anti-epidemic controls. Taxis had been ordered not to leave thecity, and restaurants had been ordered to cancel banquets. A lockdown ofresidents in dozens of neighborhoods close to infection hot spots — preventingthem from leaving their housing compounds or receiving visitors — expanded onTuesday to cover seven more neighborhoods in the west of Beijing.
最近几天，北京已经恢复了一些防控措施。出租车暂停出京，餐馆停止承办聚餐。感染热点地区附近的数十个社区已经封闭，防止居民外出或外人到访，周二，封闭范围扩大，覆盖北京西城区的另外七个社区。
The new level of vigilance announcedTuesday will make these restrictions stricter, broader and more urgent. Inrecent days, Chinese disease experts have said the burst of infections inBeijing was worrisome but controllable.
周二宣布的新响应级别将使这些限制变得更加严格、广泛和紧急。最近几天，中国的疾控专家表示，北京疫情形势严峻但可控。
Elementary and secondary schools, which hadbeen gradually returning students to class rooms, must close again — a steplikely to disappoint many parents who must supervise online learning. Universityand college students who had been preparing for a return to classes must stayaway.
原本正在逐渐返校的中小学必须再次停课——这可能使许多不得不监督孩子上网课的父母感到失望。一直在准备重返课堂的大学生必须远离校园。
Museums, parks and libraries will not shutentirely, but must sharply limit numbers of visitors. Sports grounds forbasketball, soccer and other physical activities that are usually open to thepublic must close. Tour groups to other parts of China will stop. Old agehomes, psychiatric hospitals and other vulnerable facilities will be sealedfrom visitors.
博物馆、公园和图书馆不会完全关闭，但必须严格限制访客数量。通常向公众开放的篮球、足球和其他体育活动的运动场必须关闭。前往中国其他地区的旅行团将停止。养老、精神卫生等特殊机构场所将不对访客开放。
Travel to and from Beijing may also beimpeded. “Don’t leave Beijing unless it’s essential,” Ms. Chen said.
往返北京的旅行也可能会受到阻碍。陈蓓说：“非必要不出京。”
Officials have used the tracking toolshoned over China’s months of fighting the pandemic to find people who visitedthe Xinfadi market.
官员们动用数月来一直使用的抗疫跟踪工具来寻找去过新发地市场的人。
Still, the cases clustered in one of thecity’s most important sources of food appears to have alarmed officials thatstall holders, suppliers and vendors could scatter the virus across the city.
尽管如此，病例聚集在该市最重要的食品供应市场之一，似乎令官员们担忧摊主、供应商和摊贩可能将病毒传播到整个城市。
At the news conference on Tuesday, cityofficials released details of the 27 latest cases, revealing that seven of theinfected people worked in restaurants, preparing food or serving diners.
在周二的新闻发布会上，市政府官员发布了最新27例病例的详细情况，显示有七名受感染者在餐馆工作，从事配菜或服务员的工作。
The new restrictions and general anxietyabout the outbreak in Beijing have underscored how even limited outbreaks ofnew infections could frustrate efforts to return to normal in China and othercountries.
从对北京疫情的新限制和普遍担忧可以看出，即使新感染暴发是有限的，仍会挫败中国和其他国家恢复正常的努力。
For residents of Beijing, the rising alarmhas created a reversal of roles. For months, they learned to look warily on anyvisitors who might bring the virus into the city and spread infections.
对于北京的民众来说，响应级别的上调导致了角色的转变。几个月以来，他们学会了带着警惕的目光看待可能将病毒带入城市并传播感染的外地人。
Now, they are the potential targets ofmonitoring, quarantine and suspicion across China after the burst of more than100 infections in the capital since last week.
自首都上周以来暴发了100多例感染之后，现在，他们变成了全中国监视、隔离和怀疑的潜在目标。
Dozens of cities and provinces across Chinahave in recent days stepped up monitoring and quarantine measures for peoplefrom Beijing.
最近几天，中国数十个省市加强了对来自北京的人的监测和隔离措施。
Harbin, a city in northeast China, orderedthat all arrivals from Beijing go into “centralized quarantine” — which usuallymeans confinement to an assigned hotel or dormitory room — while they undergotwo nucleic acid tests to check if they have the virus.
东北城市哈尔滨下令，对所有北京返哈人员实施“集中隔离”——这通常意味着将这些人员限制在指定的酒店或住宿地点——同时对他们进行两次核酸检测以检查是否携带该病毒。
At least one city, more or less signaledthat all people from Beijing should stay away.
至少有一个城市或多或少地暗示从北京来的人应该远离。
