1 / Hydroxychloroquine trial resumed

世衛(wèi)將恢復(fù)羥氯喹試驗

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday that it will resume trials of anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a potential treatment of COVID-19 after having previously announced a temporary pause early last week.

世界衛(wèi)生組織6月3日表示，將恢復(fù)抗瘧疾藥羥氯喹治療新冠病毒的試驗，上周早些時候世衛(wèi)組織暫時叫停了相關(guān)試驗。

"On the basis of the available mortality data, the members of the Trial's Data Safety and Monitoring Committee recommended that there are no reasons to modify the trial protocol," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. "

世衛(wèi)組織總干事譚德塞稱，基于現(xiàn)有病亡率數(shù)據(jù)，安全性數(shù)據(jù)監(jiān)控委員會的成員認(rèn)為，沒有理由修改試驗方案。

The executive group received this recommendation and endorsed continuation of all arms of the Solidarity Trial, including hydroxychloroquine." 

執(zhí)行小組接納了該委員會的意見，同意繼續(xù)進行"團結(jié)試驗項目"所有分支試驗，包括羥氯喹試驗。

WHO's announcement of a temporary halt, made on May 25, came after a paper published in medical journal The Lancet showed that people taking hydroxychloroquine were at higher risk of death and heart problems than those who were not.

5月25日，世衛(wèi)組織宣布暫時叫停羥氯喹抗新冠病毒試驗，此前醫(yī)學(xué)期刊《柳葉刀》上發(fā)表的一篇論文顯示，與不服用羥氯喹的人相比，服用羥氯喹的人出現(xiàn)死亡和心臟問題的風(fēng)險更高。

2 / FB can hide embarrassing posts

臉書增加'洗白過去'功能

Facebook is to allow users to clean up their profiles by hiding posts and photographs dating from when they were teenagers or at university amid fears it could hinder their future job prospects. 

社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)臉書將允許用戶清理自己的個人資料，將青少年或大學(xué)時期上傳的一些可能會阻礙求職前程的帖子和照片隱藏起來。

民航局調(diào)整'五個一'政策

China will allow airlines to increase the number of international passenger flights in and out of the country if the epidemic risks are controllable, said the Civil Aviation Administration of China on Thursday. 

民航局6月4日表示，在疫情風(fēng)險可控的前提下將適當(dāng)增加出入境國際客運航班數(shù)量。

Domestic and overseas airlines that have been operating international passenger flights under restrictions imposed on March 29 will still stick to the previous plan, with domestic airlines flying one flight a week on one route to any country and foreign airlines operating one flight a week to China, the administration said. 

已在3月29日起實施的航空限制框架下運營國際客運航班的國內(nèi)外航司將繼續(xù)按照原方案運行，即國內(nèi)每家航司至任一國家航線只能保留一條，每周班次一班，國外每家航司來華航線只能保留一條，每周班次一班。

民航局還將實施航班獎勵和熔斷機制。如果航空公司同一航線航班，入境后核酸檢測結(jié)果為陽性的旅客人數(shù)連續(xù)3周為零，則可增設(shè)航班每周1班。

But the airline will suspend the operation of the route for one week if five or more passengers test positive for the coronavirus. If the number exceeds 10, the airline will suspend flights on the route for four weeks, it said.
