TASK 3 / Read the text and answer the questions.

The coronaviruses

Coronaviruses were discovered in the 1960s. In humans, coronaviruses

cause respiratory tract infections that are typically mild, such as the common cold.
The name "coronavirus" is derived from the Latin corona, meaning crown
or halo.

The new coronavirus

At the end of 2019, a new type of coronavirus started spreading in China.
This type of coronavirus is often called 2019-nCoV, novel coronavirus, or COVID-19.

The symptoms of the new coronavirus

Some of the symptoms of the coronavirus are fever, cough, runny nose,
sore throat, headache, and trouble breathing. These symptoms are very much like
those people have with a cold or the flu. The virus can be more serious in some
people, especially if they are sick or have health problems.

How does the virus spread?

The virus appears to spread mainly from person to person. The transmission
occurs when someone comes into contact with an infected person. For example, a
cough, sneeze or handshake could cause transmission. The spread may also be
caused by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and
then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.

Treatment
There is no specific vaccine or medication to cure the disease, but generally,
symptoms will go away on their own. However, experts recommend seeking medical
care early if symptoms feel worse than a standard cold.

How to protect yourself from coronavirus?

 To protect yourself from the virus, here are six recommendations to follow:
1. Avoid contact with people who are already infected.
2. Wash your hands well and regularly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water
or use hand sanitizer.
3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth if you haven't washed your hands.
4. Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that people touch a lot.
5. Stay home when you are sick.
6. Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
