China's civil aviation sector handled 420 million passenger trips in 2020, which accounted for 63.3 percent of that in 2019, indicating recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic fallout, according to the country's civil aviation regulator.

3/ 'Patient zero' traced to Nov
意'零号病人'去年底感染
An Italian was found to have been infected with COVID-19 in November 2019, making her "patient zero" of the coronavirus outbreak in Italy. Researchers at the University of Milan revealed that a skin biopsy on a 25-year-old woman showed the presence of the coronavirus in Italy in November 2019. The woman was affected by an atypical dermatitis, and a biopsy on her skin highlighted the presence of the novel coronavirus. This is "the oldest evidence of the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in a human being", the report said.
意大利米兰大学的研究人员从该国一名25岁女性患者的皮肤活检样本中发现了新冠病毒基因序列。这一结果将意大利"零号病人"出现时间再次提前到2019年11月。这名患者感染了一种非典型性皮炎，其皮肤的活检组织中存在新冠病毒。研究报告称，这是"目前发现的最早人类感染新冠病毒病例。"

An earlier study by Italian scientists had detected the virus in a 4-year-old boy's throat secretions, following a swab test conducted in early December 2019. A separate Italian study last year suggested that the coronavirus may have been circulating in the country as early as September 2019. Infections are surging around the world, with more than 90.9 million confirmed cases and 1.94 million deaths by Tuesday, according to Johns Hopkins University.

4/ Champs-Elysées turns into garden
香榭丽舍大街将变花园
The mayor of Paris said a €250m makeover of the Champs-Elysées will go ahead, though the ambitious transformation will not happen before the French capital hosts the 2024 Summer Olympics.
巴黎市长近日表示，耗资2.5亿欧元(约合人民币19.7亿元)的香榭丽舍大街改造工程将继续进行，但这一雄心勃勃的改造计划不会在巴黎举办2024年夏季奥运会之前实现。
Anne Hidalgo said the planned work, unveiled in 2019 by local community leaders and businesses, would turn the 1.9 km stretch of central Paris into "an extraordinary garden". The plans include reducing space for vehicles by half, turning roads into pedestrian and green areas, and creating tunnels of trees to improve air quality.
巴黎市长安娜•伊达尔戈表示，这项于2019年由当地社区领导人和企业公布的方案将把巴黎市中心1.9公里长的香榭丽舍大街变成"一座非凡的花园"。改造计划包括减少一半的车辆行驶空间，将街道变成行人区和绿地，以及种植树木以改善空气质量。

Before the COVID-19 crisis halted international tourism, the architect Philippe Chiambaretta said that of the estimated 100,000 pedestrians on the avenue every day, 72 percent were tourists and 22 percent work there. The eight-lane highway is used by an average of 3,000 vehicles an hour, most passing through, and is more polluted than the busy périphérique ring road around the French capital, he added.
