最近，全国多地出现新冠病毒感染流行趋势，就“当前新冠疫情处于什么阶段”这一公众关切问题，中国工程院院士钟南山回答了记者提问。
The COVID-19 positivity rate among cases that presented like influenza reached 22.8 percent during the last week of May, indicating that nearly one in five tested patients was infected with the virus, noted Zhong Nanshan, an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering, citing data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
钟南山指出，中国疾病预防控制中心在5月份最后一周（即5月25日至6月1日）公布流感样病例新冠病毒阳性率为22.8%，占比差不多是1/5。新冠病毒目前虽然传染性强，但致病性弱了很多，它和流感一样。有的病患在有基础病的情况下要搞清楚诊断，然后再针对性地进行治疗。用药以后避免老年人或者有基础性疾病的病人出现重症甚至死亡。对待当前新冠疫情要像流感一样，不要慌。
Zhong noted that although the virus remains highly transmissible, its ability to cause severe disease has weakened significantly, now resembling that of seasonal flu. "The key is to administer appropriate medication to high-risk groups, such as the elderly and those with chronic diseases, to reduce the likelihood of severe illness or death," he said.
"We should approach COVID-19 just as we do the flu — there's no need to panic."
