U.S. government health experts led by Anthony Fauci warned Congress Tuesday that the country faces historic challenges with the coronavirus and that Americans should brace for a lengthy battle against the pandemic.


앤서니 파우치 소장이 이끄는 미국 정부 보건 전문가들은 화요일 의회에서 미국은 코로나바이러스와의 역사적인 도전에 직면해 있으며 미국인들은 이 전염병에 맞서는 장기전에 대비해야 한다고 경고했다.


Fauci, testifying in the wake of Donald Trump's comments that he had urged health officials to "slow the testing" for coronavirus, also insisted the president never issued such an order to him.

파우치 소장은 보건당국 관계자들에게 코로나바이러스 검사를 늦추라고 촉구했다는 도널드 트럼프 대통령의 발언에 대해 증언하면서, 트럼프 대통령이 자신에게 그런 명령을 내린 적이 없다고 주장했다.


But the government's top infectious diseases expert raised the alarm over rising case trends, telling lawmakers that several states were experiencing "a disturbing surge of infections."

그러나 미 정부의 최고 감염병 전문가인 그는 몇몇 주가 ‘충격적인 감염 급증 현상'을 겪고 있다고 의원들에게 말하며, 증가하는 확진자 추세에 대해 경고했다.


The U.S. is the nation hardest hit by the virus, with more than 120,000 deaths, new outbreaks across the country, and a government showing little ability to stem the spread.

미국은 12만명 이상의 사망자, 전국적인 신규 확진자 발생, 그리고 바이러스 확산을 막기 위한 정부의 능력이 거의 보이지 않으며 코로나바이러스로 가장 큰 피해를 입은 나라다.


Fauci stressed it was difficult to predict how long coronavirus will remain a threat. (AFP)

파우치 소장은 코로나바이러스가 얼마나 오랫동안 위협으로 남을지 예측하기 어렵다고 강조했다.
