I am Ma Ruihan, from Changchun Foreign Language School.Today let’s know something about Novel coronavirus which used to be unfamiliar to us. People all over the world are fighting against the virus now. We strongly believe that in the near future , we will conquer it.

　　First , let’s take a look: what is a new coronavirus? The novel coronavirus has not been found in humans before. Researchers found that it probably came from bats.

　　Then ,we have to know: how dangerous is it? The novel coronavirus can kill up to 2.1 percent of the people it infects，However， SARS and MERS have fatality rates of about 9.6 and 34.4 percent.

　　How can we stop the virus spreading?

　　1.Wear a face mask while in public to stop the spread of germs that can make you and others sick!

　　2. Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose, and mouth.

　　3. Cover your nose and mouth with tissue when you sneeze.

　　4. Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for 20 seconds.

　　5. Stay away from people who are coughing or sneezing.

　　Everyone in China is doing their part in the fight against the new coronavirus. We will win the battle eventually.
