澳洲新闻 (ABC新闻快递) 全球新冠肺炎死亡病例达到28.6万例（在线收听）

Parts of Australia are waking up to a very different reality this morning, as the states and territories take control of when lockdown measures will be rolled back. Now we have already seen some restrictions eased over the weekend. But it's still unclear what will happen in Victoria, which currently has the strictest lockdown rules in place. There's also movement on the schools front, with some students in Queensland and New South Wales starting to transition back to face-to-face learning from this morning.

今天早上，澳大利亚部分地区民众醒来时面临着不同的现状，因为取消封锁措施的时间由各州和各领地控制。上周末，已经有部分限制措施开始放松。但目前尚不清楚实行最严格封锁措施的维多利亚州会发生什么。学校方面也有行动，昆士兰州和新南威尔士州的部分学生从今天开始转变回面对面学习。

A leading forecaster says unemployment is unlikely to return to pre-pandemic levels until late 2024. Deloitte Access Economics predicts the federal government will have huge budget deficits of more than 130 billion dollars this year and next. But in it's latest budget monitor bulletin, the forecaster indicates both federal and state governments may have to maintain their large spending simply in order to prop up the economy until business and consumer confidence returns.

一位著名预测者表示，在2024年末之前，失业率不太可能恢复到疫情前水平。德勤经济公司预测称，澳大利亚联邦政府将在今年和明年出现超过1300亿澳元的巨额预算赤字。不过预测者在这份最新预算监测公告中表示，联邦政府和州政府可能都必须维持庞大的支出，在企业和消费者信心恢复前为经济提供支持。

More than four million people around the world have now tested positive to the virus. The Chinese city of Wuhan, where the pandemic started, has reported its first new case of COVID-19 in more than a month. While the number of new cases has dropped significantly in Australia and New Zealand and even in virus hot spots like Spain and Italy — other countries like Russia and Brazil are now recording significant increases. More than two hundred and eighty thousand people have died worldwide.

目前，全球有超过400万人在冠状病毒检测中呈阳性。最先爆发疫情的中国武汉市报告了1个多月以来的首例新冠肺炎新增病例。虽然澳大利亚和新西兰、甚至西班牙和意大利等病毒热点地区的新增病例数显著下降，但俄罗斯和巴西等国的新增病例却在显著增加。全球已有28.6万人死亡。
