北京國慶前大規模消殺病媒生物 (Beijing Wages War on Pests Ahead of National Day) |
|
中國首都北京大力消殺病媒生物，防止在下個月中共建國60週年慶典期間爆發疾病。官方新華社說，北京衛生當局上個月進行了幾次統一病媒生物控制，主要是要消滅老鼠、蚊子、蒼蠅和蟑螂。 報導援引衛生官員曾曉凡的話說，北京希望參加十一國慶活動的羣衆不被蚊子咬，不傳染流行病。曾曉凡說，當局擔心老鼠可能會把電纜咬斷，蚊子可能對人羣叮咬、騷擾。 北京市疾病預防控制中心已經多次在夜間對天安門廣場、毛主席紀念堂及其周圍街道的病媒生物進行消殺行動。新華社說，本月還將進行更多的病媒生物消殺行動。 |

China is trying to eradicate pests in the capital, Beijing, to prevent outbreaks of disease during festivities for the communist government's 60th anniversary next month.The official Xinhua news agency says Beijing health authorities conducted several extermination sweeps last month targeting rats, mosquitoes, flies and cockroaches. It quotes health official Zeng Xiaofan as saying Beijing wants to ensure that participants in National Day celebrations on October 1 are free of epidemics and bites. Zeng says authorities worry that rats could eat electric cables and mosquitoes "could bite and annoy people," as he put it. Beijing's Center for Disease Control and Prevention has been carrying out the extermination raids during night-time hours in Tiananmen Square, the adjacent Mao Zedong mausoleum and surrounding streets. Xinhua says more operations are planned this month. |
