As the number of coronavirus infections and deaths continues to rise in the United States, several states are taking action to prevent infections. We get more from AP's Ed Donahue. In New York, restaurants, bars and gyms will have to close by 10 p.m. No private gatherings¹ of more than ten people. In Indiana, "We are in the midst of a second surge." Governor Eric Holcomb is bringing back some restrictions² that limit crowd size and he extends a mask mandate³. "Unfortunately too many of us and around the country have let our guards down, and either assumed we won't get it or if we do, so be it.” In Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Mayor Paul TenHaken said no to a mask mandate. "I believe the small uptick in compliance⁴ we'll see, we see from this, we will see, are not worth the community division that this will create.” Violators would have been fined $50. I'm Ed Donahue.

随着美国冠状病毒感染人数和死亡人数持续上升，几个州正在采取行动预防感染。请听美联社记者埃德·多纳休发回的详细报道。在纽约，餐馆、酒吧和健身房必须在晚上10点前关门。私人聚会不得超过10人。印第安纳州“正处于新冠肺炎的第二波浪潮。”州长埃里克·霍尔科姆正在恢复一些限制措施，包括限制人群规模，并延长强制口罩令。“不幸的是，在印第安纳州和全国各地，有太多民众放松了警惕，他们要么认为不会受到感染，要么觉得感染了也就顺其自然吧。”在南达科他州的苏福尔斯，市长保罗·坦哈肯拒绝施行强制口罩令。“我觉得，我们看到的新冠肺炎病例小幅上涨是合理的，这并不值得社区部门为此实行口罩令。”违反者将被罚款50美元。我是埃德·多纳休。

Britain has become the fifth country worldwide to record more than 50,000 deaths from COVID-19. The British government reported more than 50,300 people have died from the disease. That means Britain joins the United States, Brazil, India and Mexico in reporting more than 50,000 deaths. The news follows reports earlier this week that a vaccine⁵ had performed well in clinical trials. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said even with the hope of a vaccine, people still need to follow safety protocols⁶. "... we're not out of the woods yet. It does still require everybody to follow the guidance, do the right thing, to suppress the disease in a way that we all understand.” Britain is currently experiencing a resurgence⁷ of the virus and has imposed new restrictions to help curb⁸ infections. Non-essential places, such as pubs, restaurants, hairdressers, gyms, golf courses and theaters, must remain closed until December 2.

英国已成为世界上第五个新冠肺炎死亡人数超过5万的国家。英国政府报告说，已经有超过5.03万人死于这种疾病。这意味着英国连同美国、巴西、印度和墨西哥的报告死亡病例都超过5万。此前有报道称，一种疫苗在临床试验中表现良好。英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊说，即使有希望研制出疫苗，但人们仍然需要遵守安全规程。"... 我们还没有脱离险境。仍然要求每个人都遵循指导，做正确的事情，以我们都理解的方式抗击疾病。”英国目前正经历新冠病毒的死灰复燃，并为此实施了新的限制措施，以帮助遏制感染。非必要场所必须在12月2日前关闭，如酒吧、餐馆、理发店、健身房、高尔夫球场和剧院。
