Good morning, good afternoon and good evening.
COVID-19 is the test of our resilience. We know that a lot of people, both young and old, are frightened and anxious.
Community organizations like YMCA can play an important role in communicating accurate information and keeping social bond strong even we are physically apart.
It‘s vitally important that we let young people know that there is a lot they can do to protect their health and that of their families and communities.
At an individual level, that means staying active, eating right, keeping up with their studies. At the community level, it means maintaining good hygiene practices and following physical distancing rules.
Some of you may have set up community programs where young people can deliver groceries or supplies in a safe manner to older people and others at risk.
We also need your help in combating misinformation.It’s vital that young people separate mythfrom facts and follow the advice of their local and national health agencies, their doctors and WHO.
Thank you all for your commitment and support. We are all in this together and we will get through it together.
I thank you.
各位早上好，下午好，晚上好！
新冠病毒肺炎是对我们适应力的一次试炼。我们知道，包括年轻人和老年人在内的很多人，都对病毒
感到害怕和焦虑。
即便我们身处异地，但是像YMCA这样的社区组织在传递准确信息和保持强大的社会联系方面可以发
挥重要作用。
我们要让年轻人知道，他们可以做很多事情来保护自己、家人乃至整个社区的健康，这一点尤为重要。
从个人层面，这意味着大家要保持活跃，正确饮食，学习也不可倦怠。从社区层面，大家需要保持良好
的卫生习惯和安全的社交距离。
在你们当中，有些人可能已经开展了一些社区项目，在自身安全得到保障的前提下，让年轻人向老年人
和其他面临感染风险的人群分发食品和生活必需品。
我们也需要你们的帮助来打击错误信息。至关重要的是，年轻人要分清事实，遵从当地和国家卫生部门、
医生和世卫组织的建议。感谢大家的承诺和支持！我们共同面对，一定会渡过难关。
谢谢！
