1.COVID-19 DRUG AZVUDINE AVAILABLE AT COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS

新冠药阿兹夫定进入社区卫生服务中心

Now, Azvudine, a domestically developed drug treating adult COVID-19 patients, is now available at 251 community health service centers across Shanghai. The oral drug was approved by the country’s top drug regulator in July and added to national COVID-19 treatment guidelines one month later. Zhang Yue finds out more.

目前，上海全市已有251家社区卫生服务中心配备了新冠抗病毒药物阿兹夫定。国家药监局7月批准使用这种口服药物，8月将其纳入《新型冠状病毒肺炎诊疗方案（第九版）》。记者张乐带来更多详细报道。

At 7am, 500 boxes of Azvudine pills were delivered to Changhai Community Health Service Center in Yangpu District. The drug will be prescribed to those in need. However, doctors said even though an anti-viral drug like Azvudine are effectively used in curbing【抑制】the virus, it is not ideal for everybody. They also noted that the timing of taking the drug is important.

早上7点，500盒阿兹夫定被送到了杨浦区长海社区卫生服务中心，将按需配给到患者手中。医生介绍，尽管像阿兹夫定这样的抗病毒药物能够有效地遏制病毒，它并不适用于所有人。而且服用该药物的时间很重要。

Small-molecule anti-viral drugs are best used within 72 hours after the patients show symptoms, as that is when they are more effective in reducing viral load and curbing virus replication. Children, pregnant women and breast-feeding moms should not take the drug, which is also not suitable for those with liver or kidney problems. Small-molecule anti-viral drugs may have some interactions with drugs treating underlying diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes. That’s why patients should follow doctors’ advice when taking Azvudine.

小分子抗病毒药物最好在患者出现症状后72小时内使用，这样能够有效地减轻病毒载量、阻断病毒复制。妊娠期、哺乳期的妇女还有儿童，包括有一些肝肾功能不全的居民是不太适合使用的。小分子药物和一些基础疾病像高血压和糖尿病，用药之间可能会有一些相互作用，这些也都是建议要在医生的指导下进行用药的。

Lu said some patients being treated at the community clinic and some elderly people living in nursing homes have already taken the medicine. Changhai residential committee said it has identified 40,000 of 170,000 people in the area most likely to need Azvudine.

陆医生还表示，部分收治在社区卫生服务中心的住院病人，包括下辖养老院内的老人，已用上抗病毒药物。长海社区居委会表示，已对辖区内17万名居民、4万多重点人群加强排摸识别和诊断。

We will make sure the medication will be given to vulnerable groups.

我们也是将辖区里面最脆弱的群体，优先进行保障。

As of last month, Azvudine was available in 31 provinces across China. Each patient is prescribed 5 milligrams per day with a treatment course lasting a maximum of 14 days.

截至上个月，阿兹夫定抗病毒药物在全国31个省份都有供应。每位患者每日服用5毫克，一个疗程最多持续14天。

As the coronavirus wave has not come to an end, we suggest people arrange their travel plans based on their health status. Seniors with underlying diseases, pregnant women, and families with infants and young kids are advised to take fewer trips to reduce infection risks. We recommend people avoid public transportation when returning home if they are showing symptoms of infection.

考虑到当前疫情流行尚未结束，我们还是倡导大家根据自身和家庭成员的实际情况，合理安排出行计划，特别是患有基础病的老年朋友，以及家中有孕妇、婴幼儿的家庭，要尽量减少出行，以降低自身和家庭成员的旅途感染风险。对于选择乘坐公共交通工具，回乡过年的朋友应主动避免带症状出行。

As many as 12,200 passenger trainswill be scheduled nationwide during peak days.An average of 11,000 passenger flights are scheduled nationwide each day during the travel rush, 73 percent compared to 2019. The most popular flights are from Beijing to Sanya, Shanghai to Beijing, Beijing to Haikou and Shenzhen to Kunming.

We added about 520 flights leaving Haikou for popular destinations like Taiyuan, Shanghai, Shenyang and Xi’an. We will also switch to wide-body aircraft for flights to Shenzhen, Beijing and Shanghai to carry more passengers.

（各大航司）在海口飞往太原上海沈阳西安等地等热门航线上加班机约520个架次，同时为了满足热门城市旅客的出行需求，在（前往）深圳、北京、上海等航线上，利用现有的航班计划适时更换宽体机来执行。

Here in Shanghai, trains will transport more than 9.5 million passengers during the travel rush, a 38.7 percent increase year-on-year.Peak【峰值】passenger flow is expected on January 19th.

This year, we’ve paid extra attention to the use of safety belts. If a bus is found to have passengers not wearing belts more than three times since December 13th, it will not get a permit to operate during the Spring Festival.

我们今年格外重视大客车乘员系安全带这块的工作，所以自2022年12月13日以来，如果有大客车的乘客不按规定使用安全带的违法行为超过3起，我们就不予以发放春运证。

Traffic police said they will increase inter-city bus inspections during the travel rush.

春运期间，交警部门将加强城际客运车辆的检查频次。

Have you heard about that? Do you have a reaction?

I think he’s just trying to find some oxygen.

（有关俄方想停战36小时的事）您听说过吗？您作何回应？

我觉得（普京）是在寻找一些喘息的机会。

The Pentagon yesterday confirmed that the U.S. will send Ukraine nearly 3 billion U.S. dollars in military aid in a massive package that will include dozens of Bradley fighting vehicles. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan yesterday held on separate phone conversations with Zelenskyy and Putin. Erdogan stated that Turkey is ready to mediate a peace settlement between the two countries.U.N.
