backlog

名詞校正回歸，log在英文中有紀錄之意，而船長的航海紀錄本寫的就叫log，登入網站的動作為log in，所以backlog就是代表後來才登錄的資料。

例句：

Did you hear the news, The CECC announced that new cases and the backlog of 400 cases added to previous days.

你有聽說那個新聞嗎？疫情指揮中心剛宣佈了新確診數以及有400個個案被加入前幾天的確診數據。

confirmed case

名詞確診病例

例句：

All of the household and healthcare worker contacts of the confirmed case have been traced.

目前已對曾接觸過確診病例的所有家人和醫護人員進行了追蹤。

outbreak

名詞疫情爆發

例句：

The covid-19 outbreak in whole world is unprecedented.

此次新冠肺炎病毒在全世界爆發是前所未有的。

incubation period

名詞潛伏期

例句：

Have you ever traveled to or lived in a foreign country during the incubation period?

潛伏期內，你是否曾在國外旅遊或居住？

death toll

名詞死亡人數，toll常翻成「過路費」的意思，但美式英文裡toll還有一個重要的意思，高強度的受苦折磨、傷害。

例句：
