萨城官员：新冠轻症不要打911！危及生命再打911！
（FOX40）Sacramento County residents asked to avoid emergency services for mild COVID symptoms
萨克拉门托县的居民要求避免因为出现了轻微的COVID症状而寻求紧急服务！
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KTXL) – Sacramento County Public Health officials continue to urge residents to refrain from using emergency services unless they are in need of life-saving treatment.
萨克拉门托，加州(KTXL)——萨克拉门托县公共卫生官员继续敦促居民不要使用紧急服务，除非他们需要救生治疗。
SCPH said that those who have mild symptoms related to COVID-19, such as a cough or sore throat, should treat themselves with over-the-counter medication and only call 911 if they have life-threatening symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, a very high fever, or chest pains or pressure.
国家卫生健康院表示，如果出现咳嗽、喉咙痛等轻微症状，应服用非处方药治疗，只有出现呼吸困难、高烧、胸痛、胸压等危及生命的症状时，才应拨打911。
In a media briefing Thursday, Sacramento County Public Health Officer Dr. Olivia Kasirye said hospitalizations are currently projected to go up and emphasized the county is working with hospital administrators to ensure they’re fully staffed.
在周四的新闻发布会上，萨克拉门托县公共卫生官员奥利维亚·卡西尔耶(Olivia Kasirye)医生说，目前预计住院人数将上升，并强调该县正在与医院管理人员合作，以确保医院配备足够的人手。
SCPH also said that some areas in the region may have already reached their peak for cases and are beginning to plateau, but they are waiting to see what the next few days will bring.
世卫组织还表示，该地区的一些地区可能已经达到了病例的峰值，并开始趋于稳定，但他们正在等待未来几天的情况。
The announcement comes as wait times for emergency responders continue to skyrocket nationwide.
宣布这一消息的同时，全国范围内等待紧急救援人员的时间持续飙升。
During a state legislative hearing Wednesday, first responders said taking more than the anticipated 20 minutes to receive a patient at a hospital emergency room isn’t good for the patient and impedes their ability to head out on new emergency calls. Often, they said, they wind up waiting hours at hospitals because no one is available to receive new patients — a problem that doctors and a hospital administrator said stems from delays in lab work, X-rays and insurance authorizations.
在周三举行的州立法听证会上，急救人员说，在医院急诊室接受病人的时间超过了预期的20分钟，这对病人是不利的，而且会妨碍他们去接新的急诊电话。他们说，他们常常在医院等待数小时，因为没有人可以接待新病人——医生和医院管理人员说，这个问题源于实验室工作、x光检查和保险授权的延迟。
Dr. Lori Morgan, president and chief executive of Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, California, said emergency room overcrowding has become common during the pandemic following a rise in non-urgent use of emergency departments for issues such as behavioral health and homelessness support. She said she also faces obstacles to discharge patients, such as a lack of post-acute care beds and insurance delays.
加州帕萨迪纳市亨廷顿纪念医院的总裁兼首席执行官Lori Morgan博士表示，在大流行期间，由于越来越多的人在非紧急情况下使用急诊室来解决行为健康和无家可归者支持等问题，急诊室人满为患已经成为普遍现象。她说，她还面临着让病人出院的障碍，比如缺乏急性期后护理床位和保险延误。
Sacramento Assistant Fire Chief Eric Saylors said every time ambulances are tied up with patients at hospitals, he sees response times in the community go up. Last week, he said a patient stopped breathing near a hospital where two ambulances were waiting with other patients for more than an hour. Another ambulance that was 8 miles away drove over to transport the patient to the hospital, he said.
萨克拉门托助理消防局长埃里克·塞勒斯(Eric Saylors)说，每当救护车在医院接住病人时，他看到社区的反应时间就会增加。他说，上个星期，一名病人在一家医院附近停止呼吸，那里有两辆救护车和其他病人一起等了一个多小时。他说，8英里外的另一辆救护车也开过来把病人送到医院。
“These are taxpayer resources that are being used right now to staff hospitals,” Saylors said. “This is nothing short of criminal.”
Saylors说:“这些是纳税人的资源，现在正被用于医院的人员配备。”“这简直就是犯罪。”
Data compiled by the Sacramento County Emergency Medical Services Agency shows that in December alone the average wait time for public and private ambulances at hospitals was over an hour and 15 minutes.
萨克拉门托县紧急医疗服务机构(Sacramento County Emergency Medical Services Agency)汇编的数据显示，仅在12月，公立和私立救护车在医院的平均等待时间就超过了1小时15分钟。
