世卫组织警告称，随着监测和疫苗接种的减少，可能会出现新的新冠病毒变种New COVID variant could emerge amid drop in surveillance, vaccination, WHO warns
World health authorities are closer than ever to being able to declare the emergency phase of COVID-19 over（比以往任何时候都更接近于能够宣布2019冠状病毒病紧急阶段的结束）, but a growing decline in surveillance and vaccination could open the door to a new variant of concern（可能为出现一种新的、令人担忧的病毒变种打开大门）, says the World Health Organization (WHO).
There are many tools available to protect individuals from severe illness（有很多工具可以保护个人免受严重疾病的影响） and to track the virus and the ways it continues to mutate, but gaps in testing, sequencing and vaccination for COVID-19（但是，检测、测序和疫苗接种方面的差距） continue to create “the perfect conditions for a new variant of concern to emerge that could cause significant mortality,”（这种差距可能为新的、令人担忧的变种病毒创造了完美条件） WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said during a briefing Friday.
