我们评估与大型集会（MG）相关的传染病风险，概述风险评估和缓解方法，并提请注意组织者和参与者遇到的一些关键挑战。医疗机构的拥挤和缺乏卫生设施可能导致传染病的出现，而快速的人口流动可能会将传染病传播到世界各地。许多感染对多边集团的规划者构成了巨大的挑战;然而，这些事件也提供了一个机会，参与公共卫生行动，这将有利于东道国社区和参与者的原籍国。
We assess risks of communicable diseases that are associated with mass gatherings (MGs), outline approaches to risk assessment and mitigation, and draw attention to some key challenges encountered by organisers and participants. Crowding and lack of sanitation at MGs can lead to the emergence of infectious diseases, and rapid population movement can spread them across the world. Many infections pose huge challenges to planners of MGs; however, these events also provide an opportunity to engage in public health action that will benefit host communities and the countries from which participants originate.
