 Staying Safe During COVID-19 平安度過新冠肺炎
|
There are many types of coronavirus. Some are not serious, like a common cold, and some are dangerous. The COVID-19 virus enters our bodies and then grows and makes us sick. COVID-19 goes from person to person easily and can make us so sick that we could die.
We can get COVID-19 from being too close to someone who has it and sneezes or coughs on us. It is also possible to catch it from touching something that a sick person has touched. If we have it on our hands and then touch our face, we can catch it this way too. In order to stop people from catching the virus, doctors say we should wash our hands often and not get too close to each other.
We must remember to be safe now and prepare for the next time there is a dangerous virus.
冠狀病毒的種類繁多，有些只會造成不大嚴重的普通感冒，有些卻很危險。新冠肺炎病毒入侵人體後會繁衍數量，使我們生病。新冠肺炎容易在人與人之間傳染，還可能讓我們病重致死。
如果帶源者對著我們近距離打噴嚏或咳嗽，我們就有可能感染到新冠肺炎。我們還可能因為碰到患者接觸過的物體而染病。如果我們手上帶有病毒，又用手去觸摸臉部，一樣有可能罹病。為了防止大家感染病毒，醫師建議大家應該勤洗手，並彼此保持安全距離。
我們現在一定要記得保護自己，才能在下次有危險病毒時做好準備。
