漢他病毒:染疫郵輪部分乘客已返回各國,我們應該擔心這一病毒嗎? - BBC News 中文
這起發生在搭載來自世界各地乘客的郵輪上的漢他病毒疫情引發恐慌,相關單位表示正極其嚴肅地處理。 目前已知有三名遊客在船上或下船後死亡,這艘郵輪一個月前從阿根廷出發。 另有四人已從船上緊急醫療撤離接受治療。 目前正展開大規模行動,追蹤可能已暴露於病毒、並已搭機返回多個國家(包括英國、南非、荷蘭、美國和瑞士)的乘客。 衛生專家強調,對一般大眾的風險很低。那麼,我們到底該多擔心呢? 世界衛生組織(WHO)的瑪麗亞·范科霍夫博士(Dr Maria Van Kerkhove)在週四(5月7日)的最新說明中強調,這並非新一輪大流行的開始,她說:「這不是新冠,這不是流感,它的傳播方式非常、非常不同。」 與麻疹等具有高傳染性且容易擴散的疾病不同,導致這次疫情的漢他病毒安第斯株(Andes strain)傳染力並沒有那麼強。 世界衛生組織指出,人傳人的情況雖然可能發生,但全球性感染風險仍低。 根據最新更新,目前已確認船上有八例病例(三例確診、五例疑似)。 目前仍不清楚疫情是如何開始的。 漢他病毒通常通過囓齒類動物傳播,人類會因吸入被帶有病毒顆粒的空氣而感染,這些顆粒來自囓齒動物的尿液、糞便或唾液。 這艘郵輪曾前往偏遠野生動物區域,因此可能有乘客在那裡或登船前接觸到病毒。 專家曾在先前疫情中觀察到安第斯株在人類患者之間透過密切接觸傳播,衛生專家認為洪迪斯號 (MV Hondius)郵輪上的一些感染可能發生人傳人感染。 因為,即使是豪華郵輪,生活空間也相對狹窄且受限,乘客共用艙房和餐廳 -- -- 這些地方都可能傳播病毒。人們可能會從長時間近距離相處的人身上感染病毒。 人們可能會因為與某人長時間近距離相處而感染病毒。 三起死亡病例中包括一名荷蘭女性,她在4月24日郵輪停靠聖赫勒拿島(St Helena)時下船。她一直與丈夫共用一間艙房,而她的丈夫已於4月11日在船上死亡。目前尚不清楚他是否為確認的漢他病毒病例。 英國衛生安全局(UKHSA)表示,漢他病毒不會透過日常社交接觸在外界傳播,例如在公共空間、商店、工作場所或學校走動。 症狀通常在接觸病毒後二至四週出現,但也可能一個多月後才發生。 可能曾暴露於感染風險的人或「接觸者」 -- -- 包括在船上、醫院,或乘客搭乘的任何航班上 -- -- 將接受監測。 正在進行的接觸者追蹤工作是一項「相當巨大的努力」,英國衛生安全局首席科學官羅賓·梅教授(Robin May)告訴BBC,而且是「我們將持續進行一段時間」的工作。 英國衛生安全局表示,任何從這艘郵輪返英的乘客,將被要求在英國自我隔離45天作為預防措施。 對於未直接接觸這艘郵輪的一般大眾來說,「這裡的風險其實微乎其微」,梅教授補充道。 感染安第斯株的患者可能出現類似流感的症狀,包括發燒、疲勞、肌肉痠痛。他們也可能出現呼吸急促、胃痛、噁心、嘔吐或腹瀉。 目前已有檢測方法可以診斷感染,但沒有特定治療藥物,不過及早在醫院接受醫療支援可以提高存活率。治療方式主要是針對出現的症狀進行處置。 英國衛生安全局表示,官員們正努力協調從洪迪斯號郵輪返回英國的英國公民的抵達事宜。 英國衛生安全局流行病與新興感染部門副主任米拉·錢德博士(Dr Meera Chand)表示:「重要的是要讓民眾安心,一般大眾的風險仍然非常低。我們正在對任何可能與郵輪或漢他病毒病例有接觸的人進行接觸者追蹤,以降低進一步傳播的風險。」 該郵輪在靠近西非海岸的佛得角群島附近停泊三天後,目前正航向西班牙的加那利群島。 計劃是讓剩餘的乘客和船員搭機返回各自的國家。 當地衛生當局已登船視察並評估情況。 乘客已在船上進行隔離,船隻由專業人員進行深度清潔後,準備進行預計的撤離行動。負責的泛海探險郵輪公司(Oceanwide Expeditions)在週四表示,船上剩餘人員目前都沒有出現症狀。 該公司指出,4月24日郵輪停靠聖赫勒拿島時,有30名乘客下船,其中包括7名英國人,之後所有人都已取得聯繫。 對此,英國衛生安全局表示,其中兩名在聖赫勒拿島下船的英國人,在從約翰尼斯堡返英後聽聞病例消息,已主動聯繫衛生官員,目前正在英國自願進行自我隔離。他們目前沒有症狀。不過另外五名在聖赫勒拿島下船的英國人尚未返回英國。 在美國,喬治亞州和亞利桑那州的衛生官員向BBC證實,他們正在監測三名從郵輪下船後返回美國的乘客。目前這三人都沒有出現症狀。.
