Q: What are some of the concerns that have been raised by the travel restrictions and it impact on the Asian community in the United States?
问：旅行限制导致的担忧有哪些，它对美国亚裔社区是否有影响？
There are concerns that the current travel restrictions could increase discrimination against East Asian individuals in the United States, as well as individuals traveling from China to the United States.[1] Since the COVID-19 outbreak emerged, incidents of racist attacks against, or harassment of East Asian individuals, have also been reported.[2] Uncoupling the disease from its origin point is one step to combat this backlash.
令人担忧的是目前的旅行限制可能会加剧对在美国的东亚群体以及从中国到美国旅行的个人的歧视。自从COVID-19病毒爆发以来，有报道表明发生了针对东亚个人的种族主义袭击或骚扰事件。世界卫生组织的指导方针提出地理位置应当与病毒分开提，这是对抗仇外心理的第一步。
