Amazon has announced that it has added featuresto its Alexa voice assistant that can help usersdetermine their risk level for having contracted theCOVID-19 coronavirus. As of now all Alexa users inthe United States can ask Alexa questions like, "Alexa, what do I do if I think I have COVID-19?" or"Alexa, what do I do if I think I have coronavirus?"upon which Alexa will begin triaging them.

亞馬遜宣布Alexa語音助手又有新功能了，能幫助用戶確定感染新冠病毒的風(fēng)險等級�，F(xiàn)在美國所有使用Alexa的用戶都會問Alexa這樣的問題：“Alexa，如果我覺得自己得了新冠肺炎該怎么辦?”或者“Alexa，如果我認為自己感染了新冠病毒我該做什么?”然后Alexa就會開始為他們鑒定。

Once one of the above questions is asked, Alexa will ask the user about their symptoms, travelhistory, and any possible exposure they may have had to someone infected with the disease.Depending upon the user's response, Alexa will offer the user guidance that comes directlyfrom the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about what they should do next.

用戶一問以上的問題，Alexa就會詢問他們的癥狀、旅行史和任何可能接觸過感染者的情況。Alexa將根據(jù)用戶的回答，提供直接來自疾病控制和預(yù)防中心的指導(dǎo)，告訴他們接下來該做什么。

Another cool feature added to Alexa is the ability to ask the personal assistant to sing a song for20 seconds while you wash your hands. Twenty seconds is the minimum washing time withsoap and water people need to perform on their hands in order to destroy traces of the virusthey may have picked up.

Alexa的另一個很酷的功能就是在你洗手時可以讓這個私人助手唱20秒的歌。20秒就是人們需要用肥皂和水洗手的最低時限，以便清理掉手上可能攜帶的病毒。

Users can take advantage of Alexa's new COVID-19 features on any device Alexa runs on,including smartphones, tablets, Kindles, and more. It should also be noted that Amazon isn'tthe first to empower its voice assistant to offer CDC COVID-19 information. Earlier this weekApple pushed an update out to Siri that allows users to ask, "Hey Siri, do I have thecoronavirus?" and get advice based on CDC information.

用戶可以在任何能運行Alexa的設(shè)備上使用Alexa新的新冠病毒功能，如智能手機、平板、Kindle電子書閱讀器等。還要強調(diào)一下亞馬遜并非首個利用語音助手提供疾病控制和預(yù)防中心的新冠病毒信息的。本周早些時候蘋果就向Siri推送了更新，用戶可以問：“嘿，Siri，我得新冠肺炎了嗎?”用戶還能得到依據(jù)疾病控制和預(yù)防中心的信息給出的建議。
