Joint statement on International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
Premier John Horgan and Anne Kang, Minister of Citizens’ Services and responsible for Multiculturalism, have issued the following statement marking the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination:
“Today is International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, a day to stand together against those who seek to divide us and renew our commitment to fight racism, prejudice and discrimination.
“At a time when people around the world are using hate and division as tools, we must stay united. Through challenging times, we are always stronger and more resilient as a province when we treat each other with kindness, generosity and respect.
“As individuals, we must use our voices to speak out against racism and discrimination. Those who have privilege must acknowledge it and learn to see the world from different perspectives. This is how we will truly understand ourselves and others.
“As a government, we are working every day to build a better B.C., where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. We re-established the Human Rights Commission to protect and defend human rights throughout the province. In 2019, Ravi Kahlon, as parliamentary secretary for sport and multiculturalism, held 21 community dialogues on racism and hate. As a result of these conversations, we launched Resilience BC, a new anti-racism network that will support partners in 40 communities throughout the province in their work to eliminate racism, discrimination and hate.
“Today, and every day, we celebrate the multicultural province we are so lucky to live in. Our lives and communities are enriched by the diverse cultures that make up British Columbia.
“Our government will continue to stand up for equality and justice, so our children will grow up in a province and a world where everyone feels valued and respected.”

今天是国际消除种族歧视日，在这一天我们站在同一阵线，一起对抗分裂我们的人，并重申我们对抗种族主义、偏见和歧视的承诺。
在世界各地都有人以仇恨和分裂作为工具的时候，我们谴责白人至上主义及其他种族主义意识形态的崛起。我们重视多元化、包容性和相互尊重–--因为我们知道，当我们团结起来并互相支持，我们整个省份以至全国都将变得更加强大。
在个人层面上，我们必须用自己的声音来反对种族主义和歧视。 那些享有特权的人必须承认并学会从不同角度看待世界。这样我们才能真正了解自己和他人。
作为政府，我们每天都在努力建设一个更美好的卑诗省，让每个人都获得尊严与尊重。 我们重新设立了人权委员会 (Human Rights Commission)，以保护及捍卫全省的人权。在2019 年，省务秘书柯议伦 (Ravi Kahlon) 就种族主义与仇恨问题进行了21次社区对话。通过这些对话，我们启动了一 个新的反种族主义网络 Resilience BC，该网络支持全省 40 个社区的合作伙伴在消除种族主义、歧视和仇恨问题方面的工作。

我们的政府将继续捍卫平等与公义，好让我们的孩子能在一个所有人都获得珍视和尊重的省份和世界中成长。

Joint statement on Province of British Columbia's COVID-19 response on March 21, 2020
Adrian Dix, Minister of Health, and Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.'s provincial health officer, have issued the following joint statement regarding updates on the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) response in British Columbia:
“We are announcing 76 new cases of COVID-19, for a total of 424 cases in British Columbia.
“It is with sadness that we share the news that another Lynn Valley resident who previously tested positive for COVID-19 has passed away. We offer our deepest condolences to their loved ones and the staff who cared for them.
“Every health region in British Columbia has people with COVID-19: 230 are in Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, 126 are in Fraser Health Authority, 37 are in Vancouver Island Health Authority, 27 are in Interior Health Authority and four are in Northern Heath Authority.
“Additionally, of the total COVID-19 cases: 27 individuals are currently hospitalized, of which 12 are in intensive care, six individuals have recovered, and the remaining patients are at home in isolation.
“Until further notice, personal service establishments – like barbershops, salons, nail estheticians, health spas, massage parlours, tattoo shops and others – are ordered to close.
“As part of our COVID-19 response strategy, our B.C. team has been tracking the epidemiology of the virus. Epidemiology looks at the who, what, where and when of disease outbreaks – to better understand their sources and effectively combat them. That is how we were able to determine the initial cases in B.C. were travel-related.
“Because we now know a lot more about COVID-19, our testing strategy has evolved to focus on clusters and outbreaks, patients in hospital and health-care workers.
“Here in B.C., 55% of all positive cases are female. This is because we have seen younger, female health-care workers with the virus – mainly related to the Lynn Valley Care Centre and other long-term care outbreaks.
“As part of the virus tracking, we look at two curves: the total number positive test results and the date of symptom onset, as determined by the public health investigation of each case.
“We pay attention to the onset curve, because we know that the time from the onset of symptoms to when someone is tested can sometimes several days. This is because people’s initial symptoms may be too mild to consider speaking to their doctor or going for testing.
“As we get more information about the onset of symptoms from patients, the onset curve is updated to reflect this new information.
“To most effectively flatten the curve, and break the chain of transmission, we need everyone to take action at the onset stage. That is why we have put public gathering orders and social distancing measures in place now – to protect us in the weeks ahead.
“Now is the time to stay home as much as possible, and to keep a safe distance from others when outside. We are reminding British Columbians that their actions today will determine the impact of the virus in coming weeks.”

卑诗省应对新型冠状病毒及最新发展之联合声明
卫生厅长狄德安 (Adrian Dix) 及卑诗省首席卫生官邦尼·亨瑞（Bonnie Henry）博士就省内新型冠状病毒 (COVID-19) 的最新情况发出以下声明：
我们确定，卑诗省新增76宗新型冠状病毒确诊病例，累计总数增至424宗。
我们哀伤地告诉各位，又有一名居住于Lynn Valley长期护理院、对新型冠状病毒测试呈阳性的患者去世。我们向他们的家属以及照顾他们的护理人员致以深切慰问。
卑诗省内每个卫生区域现在都有确诊新型冠状病毒病例。230宗位于温哥华沿岸卫生区、126宗位于菲沙卫生区、37宗位于温哥华岛卫生区、27宗位于内陆卫生区、4宗位于北部卫生区。
另外，至今确诊的新型冠状病毒病例当中， 27人仍然留医、12人在深切治疗部、6人已经康复，其余病人都在家中隔离。
即日起，所有个人服务商户都必须停业，直至另行通知。新禁令适用于理发、美容、美甲、水疗、按摩、纹身，及其他类似商户。
我们的新型冠状病毒应对策略之一，是由卑诗省专家追踪病毒的传染情况。专家追踪病毒爆发期间涉及的人、事、地点，以及时间，以了解病毒来源和制定有效的治疗措施。我们就是通过这个方法，确定卑诗省内的起始病例都是与旅游有关。
鉴于我们对新型冠状病毒的了解的增加，我们的测试策略也随之改变，集中针对局部爆发的地点、医院内的病人，以及医护人员。
在卑诗省，55%的确诊患者都是女性。我们见到比较年轻的女性护理员工感染病毒，而当中大部分都与Lynn Valley护理中心和其他长期护理院的爆发有关。
作为病毒追踪的一部分，我们研究两项反映趋势的曲线：呈阳性的测试结果，以及根据每宗个案的公共卫生调查，确定每名患者出现病症的日期。
我们集中留意患者出现病症的趋势，因为我们知道从患者出现病症，到测试有结果，之间可能需时数天。这是因为患者的初期病症可能太轻微，他们还没有考虑会见医生或者接受测试。
当我们从病人那里了解到更多病症的资料，有关趋势将会根据新资料而更新。
为了最有效地压平曲线（flatten the curve），以及打破病毒传播链，我们需要大家在病症出现的初期就要采取行动。因此我们发出禁令：停止公众聚会，以及现在实施的社交距离措施，才能够保护我们未来数星期的安全。
省民应该在这段时间尽量留在家中，在外面就要与他人保持安全距离。我们提醒每一位卑诗省民，我们今天的行动，将会决定未来数星期病毒对我们的影响。

Joint statement on Province of British Columbia's COVID-19 response
on March 20, 2020
Adrian Dix, Minister of Health, and Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.'s provincial health officer, have issued the following joint statement on March 20, 2020 regarding updates on the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) response in British Columbia:
“We are announcing 77 new cases of COVID-19, for a total of 348 cases in British Columbia.
“Of the new cases, one patient is a health-care worker at the Dufferin Care Centre, a long-term care home in Coquitlam. Fraser Health authority public health and infection control teams are on site.
“Every health region in British Columbia has patients with COVID-19: 200 are in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, 95 are in the Fraser Health region, 30 are in the Vancouver Island Health region, 19 are in the Interior Health region and four are in the Northern Heath region.
“Additionally, of the total COVID-19 cases, six people have completely recovered, 22 are receiving acute care, 10 are in intensive care and the remaining patients are at home in isolation.
“As the number of cases increases and the pressure on our health-care system intensifies, we would like to acknowledge and thank our health-care workers as they support all those in B.C. who require testing and care for COVID-19.
“In step with World Health Organization recommendations, the Public Health Agency of Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Infection Prevention and Control provides clear guidance for all health-care workers to follow. They can be confident that by following these guidelines on appropriate use, we will have sufficient supply of personal protective equipment.
“We need everybody to be aware of the risk in every community and every health region across B.C. And, equally important, because of the incubation period and rapid transmission, the self-isolation and social distancing that we do today will benefit all of us two weeks and two months from now.
“Given the challenges social distancing presents for restaurants, effective immediately, all dine-in food services are prohibited. Restaurants must move to delivery or take-out options only, or close.
“We also want to be clear that while spending time outdoors is important, people still need to stay away from groups in any environment – to prevent bringing the virus into their homes.
“New resources are being made available every day to support everyone in our province as we continue to work to stop the transmission of COVID-19.”

卑诗省新增77宗新型冠状病毒确诊个案，累计总数增至348宗。
这些新增个案当中，一名患者是Dufferin Care Centre的护理人员。这是一间位于高贵林的长期护理院。菲沙卫生局的公共卫生及防疫队伍已经到场处理。

另外，至今确诊的新型冠状病毒个案当中，6人已经康复、22人仍然留医、10人在重症治疗部，其余病人都在家中隔离。
随着感染个案的上升，我们的医疗护理系统面对的压力日益增加，我希望大家肯定和感谢我们的医护人员，因为他们都在支持需要接受新型冠状病毒测试的人，以及护理染病的患者。
按照世界卫生组织 (World Health Organization) 的建议，加拿大公共卫生局 (Public Health Agency of Canada) 属下的传染病预防及控制全国顾问委员会 (National Advisory Committee on Infection Prevention and Control) 提供了清晰的指引给所有医护人员参照执行。只要跟从指引，适当地使用个人保护装备，他们可以有信心，我们是有足够供应的。
我们需要每一位留意卑诗省内每个社区和每个卫生区域的风险。更重要地，基于病毒的潜伏期和快速传播，我们今天采取的自我隔离和保持社交距离的措施，将会对我们未来两个星期和两个月非常有益。
