All About Covid-19
What is Coronavirus?
The coronavirus pandemic is a disease that causes illness.
It all started in Wuhan, China on the 31st of December, 2019.
It started in China because Chinese people would eat bats
& they didn't know that the bats had the virus. They call it
coronavirus because it looks like lots of little crowns through a
microscope, but its real name is covid-19. The government has
cancelled all flights to New Zealand.

How Does Coronavirus Affect the Human Body?

affects your throat cells, airway and lungs turning them into
coronavirus factories. It then discharges huge amounts of new
viruses that affect even more body cells.
