居家隔離、居家檢疫與自主健康管理   蘇正隆

新型冠狀病毒 (2019-nCoV,俗稱武漢肺炎) 疫情持續延燒,疾管署對於有傳染疑慮者的處理,分為居家隔離、居家檢疫、自主健康管理3項。我參考了國外英文媒體報導的用語,建議英譯如下:

1.居家隔離 (self-isolation at home)

3.自主健康管理 (self-health monitoring)

疾管署發布的英文公告用的是 self-health management,

novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and that they were clear to return home whereas they need to conduct self-health management for 14 days.

但 self-health management 一般是指自己對自己身體狀況和危險因素有充分了解以維持健康的努力。因此可以說 initiate self-health monitoring, violate self-health monitoring。但 Google 找不到 "violate self-health management" 及 "initiate self-health management" 的講法:

No results found for "people who violate self-health management".
No results found for "violate self-health management".
No results found for "initiate self-health management".  (Google Feb 11, 19)

如果是一種指令或規定,以 self-health monitoring 為宜。

以下節錄疾管署對3種風險追蹤的說明。

「居家隔離」14天 (a 14-day self-isolation at home) 用於與確診病例接觸者,主管機關會開立「居家隔離通知書」,隔離期間須待在家中或指定地點不外出,不得搭乘大眾運輸工具,亦不得出境。監測方式由衛生主管機關每天追蹤2次健康狀況以手機電子監控,如於隔離期間出現症狀,將由衛生主管機關安排就醫。若未配合隔離措施,主管機關將依法裁罰,並於必要時強制隔離。

「居家檢疫」14天 (a 14-day home quarantine) 用於具中港澳旅遊史者,衛生主管機關會開立「旅客入境健康聲明暨居家檢疫通知書」,居家檢疫期間須待在家中或指定地點不外出,不得搭乘大眾運輸工具,亦不得出境。監測方式由里長或里幹事每天撥打電話詢問健康狀況,並且記錄1至2次,以手機電子監控。如於檢疫期間出現症狀,將送至指定醫療機構採檢送驗。若民眾未配合檢疫措施,主管機關將依法裁罰,並於必要時強制隔離。

「自主健康管理」(self-health monitoring) 用於通報個案經檢驗呈陰性,並符合解除隔離條件者,以及因特殊情形申請赴港澳獲准者。自主健康管理期間請自主避免外出,如不得已外出應全程配戴外科口罩,每日早晚各量1次體溫。
