Introduction: Hey, friends, there are some urgent things to know here. Recently, the number of coronavirus cases in Malaysia has skyrocketed, and the United States is also restless, with a new variant called Omicron spreading. Both of these pieces of news are important, so let's take a closer look at what's going on.
Let's start with Malaysia. According to CCTV, Malaysia reported more than 20,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the week of December 10-16. This is not a small number, which means that the epidemic prevention and control situation is still grim. Hong Kong's Phoenix Network also followed up on the situation and reminded people in the local area to pay more attention to protective measures.
And in the United States, the latest news from CBSNEWS shows that a new coronavirus variant called Omicron is starting to attract the attention of scientists. Infectious disease expert William Schaffner said, "The Omicron variant spreads quickly and is highly mutating. He also mentioned that existing vaccines may have restrictions on it.
I know you might be a little panicked when you hear it, but don't worry. As the expert put it: "In the face of such challenges, we need to be vigilant. "That's why it's so important to wear a mask and get vaccinated. Arguably, the best holiday gift of the year may be a dose of vaccine!
Let's talk about China. Although the number of respiratory diseases diagnosed and treated here is on a downward trend, we should not take it lightly. Because you know – COVID doesn't play cards according to common sense.
Remember, friends: while we all can't wait to get back to normal life, we need to be careful now. Protective measures such as personal hygiene, social distancing, wearing masks, and washing hands regularly are still expected to be done by everyone.
In conclusion, we ask all of us to be patient, strong, smart and optimistic as we respond to this ongoing pandemic on a global scale. By working together and following scientific advice, we can win the fight against COVID!
