Since the new coronavirus “COVID-19” first detected in Wuhan City, China in early December 2019, it has been found in more than 35 locations internationally. As of 3 March 2020, there were more than 90,000 confirmed cases globally, almost 80,000 of which are in China. On 30 January 2020, WHO declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a “public health emergency of international concern” (PHEIC). Recently, WHO escalated the risk assessment at global level to “Very High”, the same as in China.
自2019年12月初在中国武汉初次检测出“新型冠状病毒肺炎”（“新冠肺炎”）以来，已在全球超过35个地区发现了新冠肺炎。截至2020年3月3日，全球已有超过9万确诊病例，其中，在中国有近8万确诊病例。2020年1月30日，世界卫生组织宣布新冠肺炎的爆发构成了“国际关注的突发公共卫生事件”。近期，世界卫生组织将全球风险级别上调为“非常高”，与中国的风险级别相同。

As of 27 February 2020, to deal with COVID-19, 41 WHO member states have declared additional health measures.
截至2020年2月27日，已有41个世界卫生组织成员国宣布，采取附加健康措施以应对新冠肺炎。

In order to control the fast spread of the COVID-19, Chinese government swiftly locked down affected cities, extended the Chinese Lunar New Year Holiday and encouraged people to work from home. Large public events were cancelled or postponed, with all schools, offices, factories, shopping malls and restaurants closed. All cross-province bus routes were taken out of service; only limited segments of urban public transport systems remained operational. 
为了控制新冠肺炎的快速扩散，中国政府迅速封锁了受影响的城市，延长了中国农历新年假期，并鼓励人们居家办公。大型公共活动取消或推迟，所有学校、办公室、工厂、商场和餐馆都关闭。所有省际巴士路线均已停止服务；只有有限的部分城市公共交通系统仍在运作。

The production lines in China have virtually come to a standstill. This has a significant impact on the global supply chains.
中国的生产线实际上已经停滞不前。这对全球供应链产生了重大影响。

In Hong Kong, the HKSAR Government has closed down most of its services and buildings. Most of the private sectors have followed the Government and encouraged their employees to work from home where possible. The disruption caused to Hong Kong business and supply chain management although beginning to stabilise, is similar to the disruption experienced in China.
在香港，香港特区政府已关闭其大部分服务及楼宇。大多数私营部门都跟随政府的政策，鼓励其员工尽可能居家办公。尽管香港的业务和供应链管理的中断形势开始稳定，但还是与中国大陆经历的中断形势类似。
