Under the masked sky:Protect Yourself, Protect others

Last year, in December, some hospitals in Wuhan had found some patients had the pneumonia with unknown causes. And that’s what we so called COVID-19.

Till now, there are 91,413 patients in global areas and 81,099 in China. So that means the epidemic hasn’t end, but starts to spread to the whole world. Then what should we do now? It will be the best if you stay at home, but what should we do if we have to go out?

First, when you come back home, please wash your hands and clean your phones immediately, because people might touch lots of objects when they get outdoor, while nobody knows how many bacteria they have on their hands.

On the other hand, this kind of disease is transmitted by droplets. That means masks should be citizens’ daily necessities these days. All of us should have masks in our house and know how to wear them correctly. Let the mask cover your mouth and nose, so it could finish its duty.

To conclusion, keep yourself out of the illness, your friends are waiting for you!

Life in the time of outbreak

In this time of crisis, we might be confused, scared or upset. But we can also be strong, positive, and even helpful. Everyone is fighting in this war. 

The 2020 winter holiday was different for most people. No Spring Festival gatherings, no family reunion meals, no hanging out with friends. Instead, we had masks on our faces, traffic controls, closed shops, delayed school or work days, temperature checks, and slow delivery services. 
  Because of the new coronavirus outbreak, the government has called on everyone to stay at home as much as possible. During this time, most people have shown their understanding, taking medical advice and following the new rules. Everyone is making small sacrifices to help fight the virus.

Tong has stayed in his house for more than 20 days. Sometimes he really wants to run outside and breathe freely without a mask. “But I know I need to behave myself and bring no trouble. I understand that at this moment, if one gets sick, many others could be affected,” he said. With this in mind, he has stayed at home and worked on his homework. He also tries to do some exercise indoors and develop healthy habits, believing that staying fit will help prevent the disease.
