In French Polynesia, following the emergence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in March 2020, several control measures were implemented to prevent virus spread, including a population lockdown and the interruption of international air traffic. SARS-CoV-2 local transmission rapidly stopped, and circulation of dengue virus serotypes 1 and 2, the only arboviruses being detected at that time, decreased. After the borders re-opened, a surveillance strategy consisting of the testing by SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR of travelers entering French Polynesia, and isolating those with ongoing infection, was implemented. This strategy proved efficient to limit the introduction of SARS-CoV-2, and should be considered to prevent the importation of other pathogens, including mosquito-borne viruses, in geographically isolated areas such as French Polynesia.
在 2020 年 3 月出现严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 型（SARS-CoV-2）后，法属波利尼西亚采取了几项控制措施来防止病毒传播，包括封锁人口和中断国际航空交通。SARS-CoV-2 的本地传播迅速停止，当时唯一检测到的虫媒病毒登革热病毒血清型 1 和 2 的传播也减少了。边境重新开放后，实施了一项监测策略，即对进入法属波利尼西亚的旅行者进行 SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR 检测，并对正在感染的旅行者进行隔离。该策略证明了限制 SARS-CoV-2 传入的有效性，应考虑在法属波利尼西亚等地理隔离地区采取这种策略来防止其他病原体（包括蚊媒病毒）的传入。
