其他表述
遏制
要表達“遏制”（疫情傳播）可以用contain、stem、halt和curb：
We are confident in our ability to contain the spread of the virus.
In an effort to stem the spread of the virus from its suspected origin, transport bans were instituted in some cities.
People are encouraged to wear masks to halt the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The Government on Monday (Jan 27) announced a slew of further measures to urb the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus in the Republic.
延長假期 / 延期開學
School return was postponed.
China has extended the Lunar New Year holiday until Sunday; on Tuesday it was announced that the start of the next semester for schools and universities across the country would be postponed.
表示“傳播”的詞有spread、transmit、pass
1. spread、transmit和pass都可作為不及物動詞
Many of the respiratory viruses that spread amongst humans do transmit even in the absence of symptoms, including influenza and other cold viruses. They are carried into the air during normal breathing and talking by the infected person.
It is known that this virus can pass from one to another through close physical contact.
2. spread、transmit和pass也都可作為及物動詞
Other respiratory infections such as measles and influenza can both be spread, without the infected person showing symptoms.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, which means they are transmitted between animals and people.
More and more evidence suggests that it can be passed by droplets that spread face to face by a cough or sneeze directly on the face from one to another as was SARS.
3. spread可以加上ing變成名詞
If symptomless spreading is confirmed, it would not be too surprising.
4. spread本身也可以作為名詞使用
WHO Director-General is confident in China’s ability to control and contain the spread of the virus.
5. 有時我們也可以用其他詞來形象的表達，比如：jump。
The coronavirus is a zoonotic disease, meaning it jumps from animals to humans.
endemic vs epidemic vs pandemic
endemic、epidemic和pandemic是流行病學里的三個常見的概念，它們是outbreak的三種類型，我們可以從持續時間和影響范圍這兩個方面來區別。
持續時間
endemic持續時間較長，比較穩定，不會突然消失，表現其特點的英文表達有：occurs at a predictable rate、remain at a steady state。
epidemic和pandemic一樣，持續時間較短，起病快、傳播迅速，但又突然消失，相關的英文表達有：rapidly spread、normally spread in two weeks or less。
影響范圍
endemic影響特定群體或局部地區，如：in a certain area or among a set population.
epidemic的影響范圍較大，amongst a large number of people in a given population。
pandemic的影響范圍更大，It stretches over a larger area, infects more people and causes more deaths than an epidemic.甚至在全世界范圍內流行（worldwide spread）。
