　　【文学城综合编译自纽约时报】从星期五晚上开始，在美国J.F.K.机场、旧金山和洛杉矶机场，针对来自中国武汉的乘客将进行筛查。

　　疾病控制和预防中心周五宣布，纽约，旧金山和洛杉矶的机场将开始对从中国武汉出发的乘客进行一次神秘的呼吸道病毒感染筛查，该病毒已经杀死了两个人，并使至少45名海外患者患病。

　　据信大多数感染者是通过在武汉出售海鲜和肉类的市场上接触动物而感染该疾病的。不能确定病毒是否会在人与人之间传播。

　　但是，有些病例与动物没有关联，研究人员说人与人之间的某些传播是可能的。

　　近年来，称为SARS和MERS的相关病毒导致了大规模致命的暴发。

　　“形势非常严重，”国家免疫和呼吸系统疾病中心主任南希·梅森尼尔博士在新闻发布会上说。 “我们知道积极主动和做好准备至关重要。”

　　Airports in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles will begin screening passengers arriving from Wuhan, China, for infection with a mysterious respiratory virus that has killed two people and sickened at least 45 overseas, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced on Friday.

　　Most people with the disease are believed to have contracted it from exposure to animals at a market that sells seafood and meat in Wuhan, and it is not certain that the virus spreads from person to person. But a few cases have not been linked to animals, and researchers say some human-to-human transmission may be possible, so precautions are necessary.

　　About 100 experts from the C.D.C. are being deployed to the three airports. The first flight to be screened will arrive at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport on Friday night, Dr. Martin Cetron, director of the C.D.C.’s division of global migration and quarantine, said at a news briefing.

　　J.F.K. is the only airport in New York where the screening will take place. Screening at San Francisco International and Los Angeles International will begin on Saturday.

　　Over the next few weeks, some 5,000 passengers are likely to be screened, Dr. Cetron said.

　　From 60,000 to 65,000 people a year travel from Wuhan to the United States. Only New York and San Francisco receive direct flights from Wuhan; those passengers arriving in Los Angeles are on connecting flights.

　　“I think it’s highly plausible there will be a case in the United States,” said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases in Atlanta.

　　Travelers will be asked to fill out questionnaires asking if they have symptoms like cough or fever, and whether they have visited meat or seafood markets in Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak.
