MASS TO BE PROTECT ME FROM
GETTING THE VIRUS.
NO.4@
THERE'S J4@UST NOT ENOUGH EVIDEE
THAT SHOWS A MASK WILL PROTECT
HEALTHY PEOPLE FROM GETTING
SICK.
HOWEVER IF YOU ARE SICK, A MASK
CAN HELP SOME GERMS FROM
SPREADING BUT REMEMBER.
THIS CORONAVIRUS IS STILL A
MY4@STERY.
THIS INFORMATION4@ CAN EVOLVE A
DOCTORS LEARN 4@MORE.
WHILE THE VIRUS APPEARS TO BE
MOVING FROM4@ PERSON TO PERSON
HEALTH OFFICIALS DON'T
UNDERSTAND HOW EASILY IT'S
SPREAD OR HOW IT MAY4@ AFFECT
PEOPLE.
>> STILL RIGHT NOW DOCTORS KNOW
THE BEST WAY TO4@ PROTECT YOURSF
AND THE PE4@OPLE AROUND YOU,4@
SAID IT IS A LOT IS TO WASH YOUR
HANDS SO WE DO KNOW 4@THAT.
>> SO LAST NIGHT YESTERDAY WIT4
THE NEW, NEWS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE GOT UPSET BUT
YOU SAID IT'S4@ REALLY NOTHING
NEW.
THE VIRUS WILL COME HERE.
JUST A MATTER OF TIME AND WE
SHOULD BE PREPARED TO HAVE TIME
OFF WORK OR TAKE PRECAUTIONS BUT
REALLY4@ IT'S NOTHING BREAKING
NEWS AS FAR AS AMERICA IS
CONCERNED.
>> FROM THE VERY4@ BEGINNING WH
THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN WHAT WE
DO IN THE UNITED STATES IS TRY
TO PREVENT IT AND STOP IT BUT
ALSO SOMETIMES WE CAN'T DO THAT.

YOU DON'T KNOW THINGS.
ON THAT NOTE I WANT TO TALK
