COVID-19疫情是一场前所未有的全球危机。许多国家已经实施了人口流动限制，以减缓严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2的传播，并防止卫生系统不堪重负;一些国家已经实施了全面或部分封锁。然而，封锁和其他极端限制不能长期持续，希望能有一种有效的疫苗或治疗COVID-19。世界各国政府现在面临着共同的挑战，即放松封锁和限制，同时平衡各种健康，社会和经济问题。为了促进跨国学习，这份卫生政策文件使用了一个经过调整的框架，以检查9个已开始放宽COVID-19限制的高收入国家和地区所采取的方法：亚太地区的5个（即香港[特别行政区]、日本、新西兰、新加坡和韩国）和欧洲的4个（即德国、挪威、西班牙和英国）。这一比较分析提出了从这些国家和区域的经验中可以吸取的重要教训。尽管目前病毒的未来未知，但各国应继续分享经验，保护面临风险的人群，并抑制传播以挽救生命。
The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented global crisis. Many countries have implemented restrictions on population movement to slow the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and prevent health systems from becoming overwhelmed; some have instituted full or partial lockdowns. However, lockdowns and other extreme restrictions cannot be sustained for the long term in the hope that there will be an effective vaccine or treatment for COVID-19. Governments worldwide now face the common challenge of easing lockdowns and restrictions while balancing various health, social, and economic concerns. To facilitate cross-country learning, this Health Policy paper uses an adapted framework to examine the approaches taken by nine high-income countries and regions that have started to ease COVID-19 restrictions: five in the Asia Pacific region (ie, Hong Kong [Special Administrative Region], Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea) and four in Europe (ie, Germany, Norway, Spain, and the UK). This comparative analysis presents important lessons to be learnt from the experiences of these countries and regions. Although the future of the virus is unknown at present, countries should continue to share their experiences, shield populations who are at risk, and suppress transmission to save lives.
