    What are the best ways to guard yourself against the virus?

    • Eating more vegetables.

    • Covering the nose and mouth when sneezing, putting the used tissue into a closed bin.

    • Taking Antibiotics.

    • Consulting a Doctor.

    Correct Answer
    A. Covering the nose and mouth when sneezing, putting the used tissue into a closed bin.
    Explanation
    Covering the nose and mouth when sneezing and disposing of the used tissue properly is a recommended way to guard against the virus. Sneezing and coughing can release respiratory droplets that may contain the virus, and covering the nose and mouth helps to prevent the spread of these droplets. Proper disposal of the used tissue in a closed bin further reduces the risk of transmission. Eating more vegetables, taking antibiotics, or consulting a doctor may have their own health benefits but are not specifically effective in guarding against the virus.

    Social distancing can help prevent Coronavirus.

    • Yes

    • No

    • Can't Say

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Social distancing is a measure recommended by health experts to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, including the Coronavirus. By maintaining a physical distance of at least 6 feet from others, the chances of coming into contact with respiratory droplets containing the virus are reduced. This helps to minimize the transmission of the virus from person to person, ultimately slowing down the spread of the disease. Therefore, the statement "Social distancing can help prevent Coronavirus" is correct.

    Quarantining yourself can help to reduce Coronavirus.

    • Yes

    • No

    • Can't Say

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Quarantining yourself can help to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus. By isolating yourself from others, you minimize the chances of transmitting or contracting the virus. This practice has been recommended by health experts and authorities worldwide as an effective measure to control the spread of the virus. Quarantine helps to break the chain of transmission, especially in cases where individuals may be asymptomatic carriers. It allows time for potential symptoms to develop and prevents further transmission to vulnerable populations. Therefore, the answer "Yes" is correct.

    What precaution you can take to protect yourself from the virus?

    • Avoid Travelling or Crowd.

    • Maintaining Health and Hygiene.

    • Using Sanitizer or soap regularly.

    • All of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above." This answer is correct because all of the mentioned precautions - avoiding traveling or crowds, maintaining health and hygiene, and using sanitizer or soap regularly - can help protect oneself from the virus. By avoiding travel or crowded places, one can reduce the risk of exposure to the virus. Maintaining health and hygiene, such as washing hands regularly and practicing good respiratory etiquette, can also prevent the spread of the virus. Using sanitizer or soap regularly helps to kill any potential virus on hands or surfaces. Therefore, all of these precautions are important in protecting oneself from the virus.

    • Washington

    • California

    • New York

    • Florida

    Correct Answer
    A. New York
    Explanation
    New York has seen the highest number of coronavirus cases because it was one of the first states in the United States to experience a significant outbreak. It is densely populated and has major international travel hubs, which likely contributed to the rapid spread of the virus. Additionally, New York City, the most populous city in the state, has a high population density and is a major global business and tourism hub, making it more susceptible to the spread of the virus.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Are face masks are highly effective in protecting you from the Coronavirus.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Face masks are not highly effective in protecting individuals from the Coronavirus. While masks can provide some level of protection by reducing the transmission of respiratory droplets, they are not foolproof. The effectiveness of masks depends on various factors such as the type of mask, proper usage, and adherence to other preventive measures like hand hygiene and social distancing. It is important to note that masks should be used in conjunction with other preventive measures to effectively reduce the risk of contracting the virus.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Should people avoid all goods and products from China?

    • Yes, the virus can spread out.

    • No, the virus cannot spread.

    • Definitely not.

    • Absolutely no Idea.

    Correct Answer
    A. No, the virus cannot spread.
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given answer is that the virus in question is a respiratory virus and it primarily spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It does not spread through goods or products. Therefore, there is no need to avoid goods and products from China based on the fear of the virus spreading through them.
