爱国卫生运动 = Patriotic sanitation/patriotic hygiene campaign.

 

I read the document releasing Wuhan from lockdown yesterday. Saw the phrase in this sentence: 

 

 六、持续和深化爱国卫生运动。各区要通过深化开展爱国卫生运动,引导群众树立健康卫生理念,养成良好卫生习惯,提高自我防护意识和能力。

 

Here is the source: http://www.wh.gov.cn/hbgovinfo/zwgk_8265/tzgg/202004/t20200403_308397.html

咽拭子 - throat swab, saw it in stories about post Xinfadi outbreak testing. One of those ones you can guess from the base characters.

been a while since we did some posting here. I've just been reading about the official position on '灭活疫苗' and was trying to figure out what this was in English (I don't have a background in science) - is 'inactivated vaccine' correct? Does that mean anything?

 

edit: apparently it's 'deactivated vaccine' and I've been living under a rock, because it seems to be common knowledge these days ?
