ACHOO!ACHOO! why am I sneezing lately?

It’s me,hello my name is Coronavirus you can also call me

Covid -19,as a mater of fact,I can simply make other peoples sneeze,cough,a fever,tiredness,feeling
achey,and lack of oxygen.I’m not completely clear how the outbreak started, but it’s thought it’s
likely to have begun in Wuhan, China at a local meat market known to sell wild animal meat.

I still don’t know for sure which animal sparked the outbreak, but it’s thought that the new virus
could have originated in bats. Bats weren’t sold at the market, but they may have come into contact
with the animals that were. Because we haven’t encountered this virus before, scientists are still
working hard to discover exactly how it spreads. Similar viruses, like colds and flu, spread through
water droplets in coughs and sneezes. These droplets can live on surfaces and spread when
someone touches them with their hands. People become infected when they then touch their hands
to their mouth, nose or eyes.

For the most people, including kids, this coronavirus isn’t dangerous. It will make them feel
poorly for a short time, before they make a full recovery. For a few people, like the elderly and
people who have long-term health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or asthma, the risk of
becoming very ill is more serious. That’s why these people are making extra efforts to have less face-
to-face contact with others at the moment.

That means you might have to change the way you keep in touch with grandparents, friends or
family who are vulnerable, for the time-being. For example, how about video calling your
grandparents, or sending them a letter? It’s good to keep in touch, but in a way that keeps you and
others safe. here are plenty of small, easy things you can do. You probably do some of them already,
but at this time, we all just need to be extra sensible and cautious as we go about our daily lives and
activitiWash your hands more regularly, for at least 20 seconds – that’s about as long as it takes to
sing Happy Birthday twice! Dry them with a paper towel and then chuck it in the bin!

If you can’t wash your hands with soap and water, then use hand-sanitiser. Avoid touching your
face, especially your eyes, nose and mouth. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you
cough or sneeze. Bin the tissue and wash your hands afterwards. Try to avoid hand-to-hand contact
with others outside of your immediate family. There are all sorts of ingenious ways that people
around the world are learning to make contact with each other without touching hands, like
‘footshakes’ instead of handshakes !And, Avoid contact with people who feel unwell, or if you feel
poorly, let a trusted adult know.

Scientists are working with speed to create a vaccine, which will give people protection from the
virus. It’s hoped that they’ll have a vaccine ready for trials by the end of 2020.

In the meantime, there are lots of changes being made to help slow the spread of coronavirus. Some
of them might feel a bit scary or unusual, but rest assured, they’re being made to keep you and
others safe:

– People who feel unwell, and the people they live with, are being asked to self-isolate. This basically
means staying at home for 14 days so that you don’t pass the virus on to others. People can’t come
to visit you during this time, but you can go outside if you have a private garden or balcony.– People
in some countries or cities are being asked to practise ‘social distancing‘. This basically means
keeping your distance from others, avoiding social gatherings like meeting with friends, going to
sporting events or gigs. This is to help prevent the virus from passing from person to person.– Your
parents may be asked to work from home. This might mean your family routine changes while they
spend more time than usual at home.– Your school may be closed, meaning that you will be staying
at home during the week. Your teacher may set you school work for you to do at home, or even
teach classes online.– Cafés, restaurants, events and other public places may be closed.These
changes won’t be around forever, but they are important steps towards slowing the spread of
coronavirus.

You might feel worried about coronavirus, about how it might affect you, your family and
friends, and the changes that we are making to our daily lives at this time. The important thing to
remember is that we are all in this together. Talk to your friends and family about your worries and
work out how you will support each other during the coming weeks, ensuring you all stay happy and
healthy.

So now you know you can start doing it!
