冠状病毒病2019(新冠肺炎)正在世界各地迅速传播，对患者、医护人员、卫生系统和经济造成毁灭性后果。随着疫情蔓延到低收入和中等收入国家，其影响可能更加可怕，因为它们将很难对大流行做出积极反应。所有卫生保健提供者都非常短缺，由于缺乏个人防护设备，他们将面临风险。社交距离几乎是不可能的。治疗病人所需的资源将供不应求。最终结果可能是灾难性的生命损失。将需要全球努力来支持步履蹒跚的经济和医疗保健系统。
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is spreading rapidly around the world with devastating consequences on patients, health care workers, health systems, and economies. As it reaches low- and middle-income countries, its effects could be even more dire, because it will be difficult for them to respond aggressively to the pandemic. There is a great shortage of all health care providers, who will be at risk due to a lack of personal protection equipment. Social distancing will be almost impossible. The necessary resources to treat patients will be in short supply. The end result could be a catastrophic loss of life. A global effort will be required to support faltering economies and health care systems.
