  Yes – you can tell just by where a person comes from, their race and ethnicity
Correct Answer
A. No – not everyone with COVID-19 has symptoms

Explanation
The correct answer is "No - not everyone with COVID-19 has symptoms." This is because some individuals who are infected with the virus may not show any symptoms at all, making it difficult to identify them without testing. Asymptomatic individuals can still spread the virus to others, which is why it is important to follow safety measures such as wearing masks and practicing social distancing even if someone appears healthy. Additionally, symptoms can vary from person to person, and not everyone will experience the same symptoms or severity of illness.

Can washing your hands protect you from COVID-19?
- A.
  
  Yes – but only if you use a strong bleach
- B.
  
  Yes – normal soap and water or hand sanitizer is enough
- C.
  
  No – Washing your hands doesn’t stop COVID-19
Correct Answer
B. Yes – normal soap and water or hand sanitizer is enough

Explanation
Washing your hands with normal soap and water or using hand sanitizer can help protect you from COVID-19. The virus can be transmitted through respiratory droplets that are expelled when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. These droplets can land on surfaces and objects, and if you touch these contaminated surfaces and then touch your face, you can potentially infect yourself. Washing your hands with soap and water or using hand sanitizer can help remove the virus from your hands and reduce the risk of transmission.

Which of the following people is COVID-19 more dangerous for?
- A.
  
  Children
- B.
  
  Older people – especially those aged 70 and above
- C.
  
  People with certain underlying health conditions
- D.
  
  All of the Above
Correct Answer
D. All of the Above

Explanation
COVID-19 is more dangerous for all of the above-mentioned groups. Children may have a lower risk of severe illness compared to adults, but they can still contract and spread the virus. Older people, especially those aged 70 and above, are at a higher risk of developing severe symptoms and complications. People with certain underlying health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues, are also more vulnerable to severe illness. Therefore, all three groups mentioned are at a higher risk and need to take extra precautions to protect themselves from COVID-19.

Are people living with HIV always more at risk?
- A.
  
  Yes – people with HIV have weaker immune systems
- B.
  
  No – people who adhere to antiretroviral treatment (ART) and have a high CD4 count aren’t more at risk
Correct Answer
B. No – people who adhere to antiretroviral treatment (ART) and have a high CD4 count aren’t more at risk

Explanation
People living with HIV who adhere to antiretroviral treatment (ART) and have a high CD4 count are not more at risk. Antiretroviral treatment helps to suppress the HIV virus and maintain a healthy immune system. When the virus is suppressed and the CD4 count is high, the immune system is able to function effectively, reducing the risk of opportunistic infections and complications. Therefore, with proper treatment and care, people living with HIV can lead healthy lives and have a similar risk level as those without HIV.
