上海交大赵大海教授接受东方卫视专访:人类不能再错失共同战胜新冠病毒的良机


上海交通大学国际与公共事务学院教授、博士生导师,上海交通大学-耶鲁大学卫生政策联合研究中心执行主任赵大海,自新冠肺炎疫情暴发以来,对于新冠疫情暴发、防控以及卫生政策第42次接受上海电视台专访,也是第101次接受央视、上视专访。2021年8月6日,赵大海在东方卫视《午间30分》节目,就德尔塔毒株导致国内外新冠疫情再次反弹的疫情防控要求等相关话题进行了解释和评论。现将专访内容摘录如下。

主持人:目前全球疫情已破2亿,国内疫情也呈现多点散发的态势,并且输入病例波及的范围和人群面较广,这对接下来国内国外疫情防控提出了怎样的要求?

赵大海:对于国内本轮新冠疫情多点散发,鉴于各级政府都已采取了严格的、科学的疫情管控措施,应该很快就能被扑灭。然而,本轮疫情也给我国各级政府和公众敲响了警钟,新冠病毒一日还未从全球消失,“严防境外输入、严防境内反弹”的防控原则就不能松懈;国内相关部门应进一步加强和落实对于境外人员、货物的全闭环管理;进一步提升新冠疫苗的接种率,尽快通过新冠疫苗建立起免疫屏障。

国内的多点散在暴发,是来自于境外输入的德尔塔变异毒株。德尔塔变异毒株,比传统新冠病毒传染力更强,而它之所以成为当前全球各国的主要流行毒株,正是人类没有及时战胜新冠病毒所带来的后果。如果世界绝大多数国家再按照过去一年半的“抗击疫情-出现疫情缓解-放松疫情管控-疫情反弹”的疫情防控的失败的怪圈循环,甚至可能会出现新的更强变异毒株。目前来看,新冠疫苗对德尔塔变异毒株的抵抗力虽然已有下降,但依然有效;然而,我们无法保证如果再有新的变异毒株,新冠疫苗是否还能有效。

因此,世界各国必须以人类健康命运共同体为理念,放弃原先的抗击新冠疫情的错误怪圈,通过采取封闭、加快新冠疫苗接种等多种综合措施共同全力尽快战胜新冠疫情。

Dahai ZHAO’s Exclusive Interview with ShanghaiTV: Humanity’s joint mission on the opportunity to fight off multiple coronaviruses 

Dahai Zhao, a doctoral supervisor at the School of International and Public Affairs of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Executive Director of Shanghai Jiao Tong University-Yale University Joint Research Center for Health Policy, has been interviewed by ShanghaiTV for the 42st time (the 101st time by CGTN / ShanghaiTV) since the COVID-19 pandemic. On 6 August, 2021, Zhao commented on epidemic prevention and control for the   rebound about delta strain at home and abroad on “Noon News” of Shanghai TV.

Anchor: At present, the global epidemic has exceeded 200 million, and the epidemic is also spreading in many places in China, and imported cases have affected a wide range of people. What requirements does this put forward for the prevention and control of the epidemic at home and abroad?

ZHAO: As for the spread of COVID-19 in China, governments at all levels have taken strict and scientific control measures, so the epidemic should be stopped soon. However, the current outbreak has also sounded the alarm to Chinese governments and the public at all levels. As long as the novel coronavirus does not disappear from the world, the prevention and control principle of "strictly prevent imported coronavirus and prevent its rebound within home" should not be relaxed. Authorities in China should further strengthen and implement the closed-loop management of overseas personnel and goods, and further improve the vaccination rate of COVID-19 vaccine, so as to establish an immune barrier through COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible.

The scattered outbreaks in China are from the imported delta mutant strain. The Delta mutant strain is more contagious than the traditional novel coronavirus. The reason why it has become the main circulating virus strain in all countries in the world is that human beings did not control the novel coronavirus in time. If most countries in the world continue to follow the cycle of "fighting the outbreak -- an easing trend in the epidemic -- easing the epidemic control -- rebounding" over the past year and a half, a new and stronger mutant strain may even emerge. So far, the coronavirus vaccine has weakened resistance to the delta strain, but it is still effective. However, there is no guarantee that the COVID-19 vaccine will be effective if there is a new mutant strain.

Therefore, all countries in the world must take the concept of building a community with a shared future for human health, abandon the erroneous cycle of fighting against COVID-19, and make concerted efforts to defeat the epidemic as soon as possible by adopting comprehensive measures such as lockdown and accelerating COVID-19 vaccination.
