Coronavirus

The new coronavirus is a virus that causes respiratory problems. This virus has symptoms like temperature, cough and shortness of breath, but it depends on the person that gets the virus.

This virus was discovered in December but the first patient with this coronavirus had it in November. Scientists hadn't realized they were fighting a new virus until December, when they had many patients with pneumonia and they didn't know where it came from.

The virus epidemic started in China and now affects more than 100 countries. Because of this, more and more countries are cancelling many events and many people can't even get out of their homes!

Currently in Spain we can't get out of our homes for two weeks unless we go to buy medicines or food. Many important events have been cancelled and many people can't work, so they don't earn any money. Students can't go to school,so many teachers are sending them by email some homework to do.

I think it is very important to saty these two weeks at home because it is the best way to fight the virus. Teenagers can't die because of the virus but can transmit the virus to elderly people or people with health problems. If you can't stay at home there are some pieces of advice to prevent getting the virus like washing your hands and if your have symptoms avoid going to the hospital.
