Vietnam has discovered a new variant of the coronavirus. The country’s health minister said it was a mix of the variants first detected in India and Britain and can spread very quickly to the surrounding environment, calling it “very dangerous.”

The new variant could potentially explain the recent surge of cases in Vietnam. The country is coping with its worst outbreak yet. It was not clear whether its prevalence is known or whether it might evade the protections afforded by vaccines.

Vietnam announced new restrictions for Ho Chi Minh City and ordered a ban on all religious events nationwide.

友善讓你懂|解說:

新冠肺炎疫情在各國延燒,一直以來都是防疫模範生的越南,近期也爆發新一波疫情,並發現了新的新冠病毒變種。該國衛生部長表示,該變種病毒是由印度和英國變種病毒的混合體,傳染力更強,「非常危險」。

新變種病毒可能就是最近越南病例激增的原因,也是越南至今最嚴重的疫情,全國正積極應對。然而,目前還不清楚新變種病毒的流行程度,也不知道目前上市的疫苗是否還能提供足夠保護。

面對新一波的疫情,越南政府宣布了對首都胡志明市的新限制,並下令禁止全國所有宗教活動。

輕鬆帶著走|學習:

Afford,我們一般知道的意思是「負擔的起」,例如:

  • The bag is too expensive. I don’t think I can afford it.  這個包包太貴了,我買不起。

但在本文中 “the protections afforded by vaccines”,afford則是「提供」、「給予」的意思,例如:

  • All of the rooms afford views of the lake. 這裡所有的房間都有湖景。
  • Singing affords us pleasure. 唱歌為我們帶來快樂。

本篇其他相關單字:

  • Potentially 潛在地
  • Surge激增
  • Prevalence (疾病的)流行程度
