我们如何在加拿大测试COVID-19？
消息来源:YAHOO NEWS
首席卫生官谭医生周一重申，无症状的人无需接受COVID-19的检测。

现在, 加拿大有超出1400确诊感染, 20例死亡.

她说：“我们很感激,许多人只有轻度症状。” “在所有轻度有症状的人中，您需要能够确定真正需要测试的关键人员的优先级。”

这些人的例子有症状的医护人员，住院的人和偏远社区的人。

谭博士说：“在那里，您将能够检测到是否有与旅行无关的案件。”

她补充说，加拿大还在审查测试策略，以确定在隔离区工作了14天的人何时能够出门。

卫生部长帕蒂·哈伊杜（Patty Hajdu）表示，加拿大正在寻找与世界其他地区相同的COVID-19答案。她补充说，加拿大正在为潜在的感染人口激增做准备，正在审查科学和证据以了解我们如何摆脱这种情况。

哈吉杜说：“到目前为止，与社会保持距离是我们最好的选择，但正在开展大量工作……以找出（战略）。” “火在哪里燃烧，火花在哪里？”

当被问及加拿大的呼吸机供应情况时，Hajdu说我们还没有达到这个水平。

她说：“这是一个具有复杂答案的复杂问题。”

谭博士补充说，政府预计将需要更多的呼吸机，并作为一项预期措施继续订购了更多550台。

公共服务和采购部长安妮塔·阿南德（Anita Anand）表示，我们拥有超过1100万个N95口罩，超过了各省所要求的730万个。



How are we testing for COVID-19 in Canada?

Dr. Tam reiterated that people who are asymptomatic do not need to be tested for COVID-19.

“We can appreciate that many people have mild symptoms,” she said. “Of all the mildly symptomatic people, you need to be able to prioritize the key people who really need to be tested.”

Examples of these people are symptomatic healthcare workers, hospitalized people and individuals in more remote communities.

“That’s where you’re going to be able to detect if you have cases not related to travel,” Dr. Tam said.

She added that Canada is also reviewing the testing strategy to determine when people who are in quarantine for 14 days will be able to go outside.

Minister of Health Patty Hajdu said that Canada is searching for the same answers to COVID-19 as the rest of the world. She added that Canada is preparing the population for a potential surge, reviewing the science and the evidence to see how we get out of this situation.

“Social distancing is the best thing we have so far but there is a ton of work happening…to figure out [strategies],” Hajdu said. “Where is the fire burning and where are the sparks going.”

When asked about what the ventilator supply is in Canada, Hajdu said we don’t have that level of precision yet.

“This is a complicated question with a complicated answer,” she said.

Dr. Tam added that the government anticipated there would be a need for more ventilators and went ahead as an anticipatory measure to order an additional 550.

Minister of Public Services and Procurement Anita Anand said we have over 11 million N95 masks, more than the 7.3 million requested by the provinces.
