SECTION A
(COMPREHSION)

Nations around the world are battling with a major outbreak of anew deadly
virus. The corona virus, which started in the Chinese city of Wuhan, on 22 nd January 2020
has already killed around 3000 people from around the world. Countries affected
include China, America, UK and Italy. It has also spread to many other places like
Pakistan, Japan, Korea, and Thailand. More than 90,000 cases of people that have
caught the virus and are in hospital. The world Health Organization, (WHO) has declared
that this is a global health emergency. China has been on lockdown for many weeks and
people have not been to work, school and all public transport has been suspended. In
other countries schools have been closed and people have been told not to travel.
The new corona virus is suspected to have come from illegally traded animals in a
Wuhan market. The virus mutated and spread from an animal to a human. There are
fears it could mutate and spread further. Scientists say the virus is contagious and can be
passed from one person to person through the air. Dr Linta Wang, a virologist at the
Duke-National University of Singapore, said the new corona virus is in the same family as
SARS, but it’s different from SARS. He said people needed to look for pneumonia-like
symptoms, such as fever, cough and difficulty breathing. Fu Ning, 36-years-old woman
from Beijing, said:”I feel fearful because there’s no cure for the virus. /5
