The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on March 27 that it has officially launched a new platform called the Coronavirus Network (CoViNet). The platform aims to bring together global expertise and capabilities for earlier and more accurate detection, monitoring and evaluation of coronaviruses such as the novel coronavirus (COV), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-COV), and possible new coronaviruses in the future.
据报道，世界卫生组织于3月27日宣布，已正式启用名为“冠状病毒网络”（CoViNet）的全新平台。此平台旨在汇集全球范围内的专业知识与能力，以便更早、更准确地检测、监测和评估新冠病毒、中东呼吸综合征等冠状病毒，以及未来可能涌现的新型冠状病毒。
The Coronavirus Network brings together laboratories with deep expertise in human, animal, and environmental coronavirus surveillance around the world, and now covers 36 laboratories in 21 countries in six regions.
该“冠状病毒网络”集结了在全球人类、动物及环境冠状病毒监测领域具有深厚专长的实验室，目前已涵盖全球六大区域，共计21个国家的36个实验室。
Laboratory representatives also met in Geneva on 26-27 March to agree on an action plan for 2024-2025 to assist WHO member States in achieving more efficient early detection, risk assessment, and response to coronavirus-related health challenges.
而在3月26日至27日，各实验室代表还在日内瓦共襄盛举，商定2024至2025年的行动计划，以协助世卫组织成员国在冠状病毒相关的卫生挑战面前，实现更高效的早期检测、风险评估与应对。
In response, Maria van Kerkerkhove, acting director of WHO's Department of Epidemiology and Pandemic Preparedness and Prevention, stressed in the press release: "This new global network for coronavirus will ensure that we can promptly detect, monitor and assess those coronavirus that pose a major threat to public health, thereby safeguarding global health security."
对此，世卫组织流行病和大流行病防范与预防部门的代理主任玛丽亚·范克尔克霍夫在新闻公报中强调：“这一全新的冠状病毒全球网络，将确保我们及时检测、监测和评估那些对公共卫生构成重大威胁的冠状病毒，从而为全球卫生安全保驾护航。”
