目前还没有预防新冠肺炎感染的疫苗。预防感染的最好方法是避免接触这种病毒。不过，作为提醒，疾病预防控制中心始终建议采取日常预防措施，以帮助防止呼吸道病毒的传播，包括：

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.避免与病人密切接触。

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.避免用未洗过的手触摸眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴。

• Stay home when you are sick.生病时呆在家里。

• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.用纸巾盖住咳嗽或打喷嚏，然后把纸巾扔进垃圾桶。

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.使用常规家用清洁喷雾或擦拭剂清洁和消毒经常接触的物体和表面。

Follow CDC’s recommendations for using facemask.按照疾病预防控制中心(CDC疾控中心)要求使用口罩

• CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear facemask to protect themselves from respiratory viruses, including 2019-nCoV，except for the case that you are exposed to infected area or groups.

• 疾病预防控制中心不建议身体健康的人戴口罩预防呼吸道病菌感染，那些戴着口罩以保护自己免受呼吸道病毒感染的人，包括新冠肺炎，除非你进入感染区或者面对感染人群。

• Facemask should be used by people who show symptoms of 2019 novel coronavirus, in order to protect others from the risk of getting infected. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).

• 具有新冠肺炎症状的人必须佩戴口罩，以保护他人免受感染。对于照顾或接近那些感染人员或场所（在家里或医疗机构）的人来说，佩戴口罩至关重要。

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

经常用肥皂和水洗手至少20秒，尤其是在上完厕所、吃饭前、擤鼻涕、咳嗽或打喷嚏后。

If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

如果手边没有肥皂或水，使用纯度为60%的酒精洗手液。如果手明显脏了，一定要用肥皂和水洗手。

Treatment新冠肺炎的治疗

There is no specific antiviral treatment recommended for 2019-nCoV infection. People infected with 2019-nCoV should receive supportive care to help relieve symptoms. For severe cases, treatment should include care to support vital organ functions.

对于新冠肺炎的感染，没有特别的抗病毒药物值得推荐。感染新冠肺炎的人应接受支持性护理，以帮助缓解症状。对于严重的病例，治疗应包括支持重要器官功能的护理。

People who think they may have been exposed to 2019-nCoV should contact your healthcare provider immediately.

认为自己可能接触过新冠肺炎的人应立即联系您的医疗保健提供者。
