Read the article and then answer the questions

Nations around the world are battling with a major outbreak of a new deadly
virus. The coronavirus, which started in the Chinese city of Wuhan, on 22nd
January 2020 has already killed around 3,000 people from around the world.
Countries affected include China, America, the UK and Italy. It has also spread to
many other places like Pakistan, Japan, Korea and Thailand. More than 90,000
cases of people that have caught the virus and are in hospital. The World Health
Organization (WHO) has declared that this is a global health emergency. China
has been on lockdown for many weeks and people have not been to work,
school and all public transport has been suspended. In other countries schools
have been closed and people have been told not to travel.

The new coronavirus is suspected to have come from illegally traded animals in a
Wuhan market. The virus mutated and spread from an animal to a human. There
are fears it could mutate and spread further. Scientists say the virus is contagious
and can be passed from person to person through the air. Dr Linfa Wang, a
virologist at the Duke-National University of Singapore, said the new coronavirus
is in the same family as SARS, but it's different from SARS. He said people needed
to look for pneumonia-like symptoms, such as fever, cough and difficulty breathing.
Fu Ning, a 36-year-old woman from Beijing, said: "I feel fearful because there's no
cure for the virus."
