其他表述
遏制
要表达“遏制”（疫情传播）可以用contain、stem、halt和curb：
We are confident in our ability to contain the spread of the virus.
In an effort to stem the spread of the virus from its suspected origin, transport bans were instituted in some cities.
People are encouraged to wear masks to halt the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The Government on Monday (Jan 27) announced a slew of further measures to urb the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus in the Republic.
延长假期 / 延期开学
School return was postponed.
China has extended the Lunar New Year holiday until Sunday; on Tuesday it was announced that the start of the next semester for schools and universities across the country would be postponed.
表示“传播”的词有spread、transmit、pass
1. spread、transmit和pass都可作为不及物动词
Many of the respiratory viruses that spread amongst humans do transmit even in the absence of symptoms, including influenza and other cold viruses. They are carried into the air during normal breathing and talking by the infected person.
It is known that this virus can pass from one to another through close physical contact.
2. spread、transmit和pass也都可作为及物动词
Other respiratory infections such as measles and influenza can both be spread, without the infected person showing symptoms.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, which means they are transmitted between animals and people.
More and more evidence suggests that it can be passed by droplets that spread face to face by a cough or sneeze directly on the face from one to another as was SARS.
3. spread可以加上ing变成名词
If symptomless spreading is confirmed, it would not be too surprising.
4. spread本身也可以作为名词使用
WHO Director-General is confident in China’s ability to control and contain the spread of the virus.
5. 有时我们也可以用其他词来形象的表达，比如：jump。
The coronavirus is a zoonotic disease, meaning it jumps from animals to humans.
endemic vs epidemic vs pandemic
endemic、epidemic和pandemic是流行病学里的三个常见的概念，它们是outbreak的三种类型，我们可以从持续时间和影响范围这两个方面来区别。
持续时间
endemic持续时间较长，比较稳定，不会突然消失，表现其特点的英文表达有：occurs at a predictable rate、remain at a steady state。
epidemic和pandemic一样，持续时间较短，起病快、传播迅速，但又突然消失，相关的英文表达有：rapidly spread、normally spread in two weeks or less。
影响范围
endemic影响特定群体或局部地区，如：in a certain area or among a set population.
epidemic的影响范围较大，amongst a large number of people in a given population。
pandemic的影响范围更大，It stretches over a larger area, infects more people and causes more deaths than an epidemic.甚至在全世界范围内流行（worldwide spread）。
