美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）表示，每年大约只有200名来自该地区的旅客访问美国。
The CDC says only about 200 travelers from the region visit the U.S. per year.
美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）称已采取措施“识别和评估”来自报告出现可能鼠疫病例的俄罗斯地区的旅客。
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it has established measures to "identify and assess" any travelers from the Russian region where a possible plague case was reported.
该机构在周三的一份声明中指出，全年大约只有200名来自该地区的旅客抵达美国。这些旅客通过已设有CDC工作人员的机场入境。
In a statement on Wednesday, the agency noted that roughly only 200 travelers from the region arrive in the U.S. over the course of a year. These travelers enter the country through airports where CDC staff are already positioned.
“CDC正密切监测局势，并已建立措施以识别和评估来自受影响地区的旅客，”声明中写道。“CDC在美国入境口岸拥有长期运作的系统和受过训练的人员，能够检测并应对潜在的公共卫生风险。我们将继续密切监测局势，并根据情况调整公共卫生响应。”目前，没有与该报告病例相关的禁登令。禁登名单由运输安全管理局执行，阻止已知或疑似携带对公共卫生构成威胁的传染病的人员获取前往、离开或在美国境内的航班登机牌。
"CDC is closely monitoring the situation and has established measures in place to identify and assess travelers arriving from the affected region," the CDC's statement read, in part. "CDC has longstanding systems and trained personnel in place to detect and respond to potential public health risks at U.S. ports of entry. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and adjust our public health response as conditions warrant." Currently, there are no do-not-board orders related to the reported case. The Do Not Board list, which is enforced by the Transportation Security Administration, prevents people from obtaining a boarding pass for a flight into, out of, or within the U.S. for travelers known or suspected to have a contagious disease that poses a public health threat.
在周三的一次活动中，CDC主任埃里卡·施瓦茨博士表示，机构“具备良好条件，确保我们免受潜在威胁”（如鼠疫）的影响。
During an event on Wednesday, Dr. Erica Schwartz, the CDC's director, said the agency is "well positioned to make sure that we are protected from a potential threat" such as plague.
“我们正与国土安全部、国务院、国防部以及政府其他机构合作，确保我们准确了解是否有来自该地区的人进入美国，”施瓦茨在华盛顿特区《华尔街日报》《健康的未来》活动上说。“我们非常有信心，对美国的威胁极低，”她补充道。
"We are working with Department of Homeland Security, working [with] Department of State, Department of War and other agencies within the government to make sure that we know exactly if anyone from that area comes into the United States," Schwartz said at the Wall Street Journal's The Future of Health event in Washington, D.C.
此前，世界卫生组织（WHO）官员在周三的新闻发布会上表示，在西伯利亚一名鼠疫实验室工作人员死亡后，他们目前尚未从俄罗斯当局获得足够信息来进行全面的风险评估。
"We are very confident that the threat to the United States is extremely low," she added.
最初的媒体报道称，伊尔库茨克抗鼠疫研究所的一名实验室工作人员死于鼠疫，但俄罗斯官员随后对此提出异议，称该工作人员死于肺炎，且病情与在实验室的工作无关。
It came after World Health Organization (WHO) officials said during a press conference on Wednesday they do not currently have enough information from Russian authorities to conduct a full risk assessment after the death of a plague laboratory worker in Siberia.
新闻发布会上，世卫组织总干事谭德塞博士表示，该组织已于周六向俄罗斯联邦请求提供更多相关信息。俄罗斯联邦周二回应称，西伯利亚东南部的伊尔库茨克州近期未报告任何鼠疫病例，且约有200名密切接触者已被隔离。
Initial media reports suggested a lab worker at Irkutsk Antiplague Research Institute died of the plague, but Russian officials later disputed this, saying the worker died of pneumonia and that the illness was not linked to work in the lab.
ABC新闻的克里斯托弗·博奇亚和奥通·莱瓦对本报道亦有贡献。
During the press conference, WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the agency asked the Russian Federation for more information on Saturday. The Russian Federation replied on Tuesday, saying no case of plague had recently been reported in the Irkutsk Oblast, in southeastern Siberia, and that about 200 contacts had been placed in quarantine.
