（原标题：美国首都华盛顿特区“居家令”延伸至6月8日）
美国首都华盛顿哥伦比亚特区市长鲍泽近来宣告，华盛顿特区的“居家令”将延伸至6月8日，到时再考虑该区域的重启方案。
The District of Columbia, seat of the US federal government, extended its stay-at-home order through June 8, the mayor said on Wednesday.
美国联邦政府所在地华盛顿哥伦比亚特区市善于上星期三（5月13日）表明，“居家令”将延伸至6月8日。
The stay-at-home order, intended to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, had been scheduled to end on May 15.
这一旨在遏止新式冠状病毒传达的居家禁令原定于5月15日完毕。
Mayor Muriel Bowser left open the possibility that the US capital could reopen sooner, telling reporters that if it hit certain metrics including a declining number of cases over 14 days and sustained low transmission rate, she could move to open sooner.
市长穆丽尔·鲍泽表明，美国首都华盛顿特区仍有或许提早从头敞开。她和记者说，假如到达某些规范，包含确诊病例数量下降14天和持续较低的传达率，华盛顿特区或将提早敞开。
Washington has reported 6,584 cases of the coronavirus and 350 deaths so far. Though Bowser said the data reflected some encouraging signs, she said, “We are not there yet.”
到现在为止，华盛顿特区新冠肺炎确诊病例到达6584例，逝世病例为350例。虽然鲍泽表明，数据反映出一些令人鼓舞的痕迹，但她说，“咱们还没有到达规范。”
'We're not there yet and not quite ready to begin that phased new opening,' Bowser said at a press briefing.
鲍泽在新闻发布会上说：“咱们还没有到达规范，还没有做好开端分阶段敞开的预备。”
'We will continue to follow the advice of our health officials. Rushing to reopen could have tragic results.'
“咱们将持续遵从卫生官员的主张。急于从头敞开或许会带来悲剧性的结果。”
Medical experts recommend states and regions do not reopen until they have recorded a 14-day decline in new coronavirus cases.
医学专家主张，在新增确诊病例接连下降14天之前，各州和各区域不要从头敞开。
Other criteria for reopening have been met, however, including the required capacity for testing, Bowser said.
但鲍泽表明，从头敞开的其他规范现已满意，包含病毒检测的才能。
The announcement came as the White House pushes for states to reopen businesses while public health experts urge caution. Top US infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci testified in the Senate on Tuesday his concerns that ending lockdowns could lead to uncontrollable outbreaks.
与此同时，白宫敦促各州从头敞开商业活动，而公共卫生专家敦促人们坚持慎重。美国尖端流行症专家安东尼·福奇上星期二（5月12日）在参议院作证时表明，他忧虑完毕封闭或许会导致无法操控的疫情爆发。
Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told a Senate panel the virus epidemic is not yet under control in areas of the nation and urged states to follow advice of witnessing a declining number of new infections before reopening.
美国国家过敏症和流行症研究所所长福奇对参议院的一个委员会说，美国一些区域的疫情还没有正真取得操控，他敦促各州遵从主张，在新增病例下降之前不要从头敞开。
'I think we're going in the right direction, but the right direction does not mean we have by any means total control of this outbreak,' Fauci said.
福奇说：“我以为咱们的方向是正确的，但正确的方向并不代表咱们已彻底操控了疫情。”
Both Maryland and Virginia, neighboring states where many workers in the US federal government live, have moved to reopen some businesses in parts of their states, but the suburbs immediately surrounding Washington have remained largely closed.
美国联邦政府许多作业人员居住在附近的马里兰州和维吉尼亚州。这两个州现已在部分区域从头敞开商业活动，可是紧邻华盛顿特区的大部分市郊依然施行封闭办法。
Government is considered an essential service, with many workers are currently working from home.
政府作业被以为是必不可少的服务，许多政府部门职工现在在家作业。
“We know that government is essential and the work of the government is essential, especially our lawmakers. What I have encouraged the federal government to do is to keep as many people on tele-work as possible,” Bowser said.
鲍泽说：“咱们咱们都知道政府是至关重要的，政府的作业是至关重要的，特别是咱们的议员。我一向鼓舞联邦政府让尽或许多的人长途作业。”
Senators returned to Washington earlier this month after six weeks at home. The congressional physician has advised lawmakers to wear masks, stay six feet (two meters) apart and limit the number of staff on Capitol Hill.
参议员们在居家六周后，于本月初回来华盛顿。国会医师主张议员们戴上口罩，坚持6英尺（约合2米）的间隔，并约束国会作业人员的数量。
News that lockdown will continue will no doubt be unwelcome news to the city's most famous resident, President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly urged the US to reopen for business as soon as possible.
关于该市最著名的居民、美国总统唐纳德·特朗普来说，持续封闭无疑是不受欢迎的音讯，他曾多次敦促美国赶快康复商业活动。
However, when asked by reporters if there had been pressure from the president to reopen the nation's capital, Bowser said there had not been.
但是，当记者问及总统是否施压要求从头敞开华盛顿特区时，鲍泽表明并没有。
Most states have started easing their stay-at-home orders despite rising COVID-19 cases and deaths and repeated warnings from medical experts that there could be renewed spikes in figures if they reopen for business too soon.
虽然确诊病例和逝世病例数量不断上升，医学专家也再三正告说，假如过早康复商业活动，病例数量或许会再次激增，但大多数州渐渐的开端放宽“居家令”。
A revised forecast model relied on by the White House is now projecting 147,000 Americans could die in the pandemic by August - an increase of 10,000 on projections from just two days ago - due to the easing of social distancing measures across much of the US.
依据白宫采信的一种修订后的猜测模型，因为美国大部分区域放宽了交际阻隔办法，估计到8月份，美国的新冠肺炎逝世病例将到达14.7万例，比两天前的猜测增加了1万人。
