据科技日报(4月14日)最新消息,我国国家医药产品监督管理局(NMPA)刚刚批准两种COVID-19灭活疫苗进行一期和二期联合临床试验,成为该类疫苗的第一批。这两种疫苗分别由国药武汉生物制品研究所有限公司和国药科兴研究开发有限公司联合科研院所研制。这是继3月17日中国工程院院士、军事医学科学院研究员陈伟团队研制的重组COVID-19疫苗获得临床试验批准后,又一个好消息。
对于当前的紧急情况,疫苗并不是一个遥远的解决方案,而是击败COVID-19的最有力武器。中国在合理判断和组织的基础上,在保证安全的前提下,作出了加快步伐的决定。早在1月21日,科技部就宣布成立COVID-19联合防疫专家组。专家组由中国工程院院士钟南山带队,由14名专家组成。22日,首批8个COVID-19应急科学响应项目迅速启动。项目启动以来,陈伟的团队根据埃博拉疫苗研制的成功经验,以极快的速度开展了重组COVID-19疫苗(腺病毒载体疫苗)的研究。3月17日,该团队的重组COVID-19疫苗被批准进行临床试验,比预期提前了一个月。到4月2日,武汉市108

该计划的支持者以哥伦比亚首都波哥大为例,波哥大市长克劳迪娅•洛佩兹在3月中旬新开辟了近72英里(117公里)的自行车道,以期减少交通拥堵和人与人之间的接触。 尽管德国目前在疫情期间实行限制措施,但各州仍鼓励人们骑自行车。根据目前的限制措施,除了家人外,禁止两个人以上的聚集。
在德国,自行车修理店目前不受国家新冠肺炎疫情封锁命令的限制。柏林、萨克森-安哈尔特和梅克伦堡-前波莫恩三个联邦州也允许自行车销售商继续营业。

法国的各类学校在结束上周的课程后关闭,这意味着1240万学生将留在家里。教育部长让-米歇尔·布兰科提醒称,学生们应在网上按照全国课程大纲继续学习。政府已经禁止100人以上的集会,并关闭了埃菲尔铁塔、凡尔赛宫、卢浮宫和奥赛博物馆等景点。

在巴黎地区,周日的弥撒也被取消。法国卫生部长奥利维耶·韦兰表示,病毒的进化和传播是“迅速而真实的”,但他补充说,大约98%的新冠病毒检测呈阳性的患者都会康复。卫生官员指出,众所周知,抗炎药物对传染病患者来说是有风险的,因为它们往往会削弱人体免疫系统的反应。法国卫生部补充说,患者应该选择扑热息痛,因为“它可以在不对抗炎症的情况下让人退烧”。

欧盟将禁止欧盟以外的旅行者入境,禁令有效期为30天,这是在新冠肺炎疫情期间,欧盟采取的一项前所未有的封锁边境举措。这项措施预计将适用于26个欧盟成员国,以及冰岛、列支敦士登、挪威和瑞士。英国公民将不受影响。这一禁令出台之际,意大利和西班牙的新冠肺炎死亡人数继续飙升,法国也开始实施严格的封锁。欧洲受到新冠肺炎疫情的严重打击,全球已有7500人因此丧生。与此同时,2020年欧洲杯足球赛也将推迟一年举行。据世界卫生组织的数据,全球已有18.5万人感染新冠病毒。
欧盟采取了哪些措施?这项旅行禁令将影响所有非欧盟公民访问欧盟,长期居民、欧盟公民和外交官家属、跨境和医疗工作者,以及货物运输人员除外。自由旅行是欧洲无边境申根区珍视的原则。但最近一些天,许多国家单方面实施全面或部分边境关闭,以阻止新冠病毒的传播。英国和爱尔兰共和国将受邀实施该措施。爱尔兰是欧盟成员国,但不属于申根区。
