The COVID-19 Virus has caused major disruption to our lives.
COVID-19 Quiz
In 2020 there was no escaping it. COVID-19, or Corona Virus, was the dominant issue in the news. There were millions of cases worldwide, and hundreds of thousands of deaths. Here in the UK, we fared badly, with more than 30,000 deaths before the summer – the worst figures in the whole of Europe.
The pandemic also had a major effect on our day to day lives. Schools and work places were closed, and social distancing rules made visiting friends, going out for the day, and even shopping, all difficult – if not impossible – to do.
As these quizzes are on events in the news of the time, it’s inevitable that we should include one on COVID-19. So, see how much you know about the virus and the lockdown rules by playing this quiz.
1.
What are the main symptoms of the COVID-19 virus?
Fever
Tiredness
A continuous cough
All of the above
The most common symptom is a new and continuous cough, but tiredness, headaches, runny nose, and sore throat may also appear
2.
In June 2020, in which country would it be OK to have a barbeque at home with nine people from two different households in attendance?
England
Scotland
Wales
Northern Ireland
In England and Northern Ireland, a maximum of six people from two households could meet outside. In Scotland the limit was eight people from three households. But in Wales, there was no limit to the number of people, as long as they came from no more than two households
3.
How does washing your hands protect you from COVID-19?
Soap and warm water get rid of the germs
A special hand sanitiser will get rid of the germs, but soap will not
It only protects you if you use bleach or an antiseptic
It makes no difference whether you wash your hands or not
Hand sanitisers are more effective than soap and water but, as long as you wash your hands thoroughly for 40 seconds or more, then soap and water will get rid of germs
4.
In June 2020, a man from Shrewsbury would be forbidden from driving to which of these destinations for a day out?
34 miles to Wrexham
74 miles to Liverpool
166 miles to Cleethorpes
218 miles to Brighton
In England you could travel as far as you liked. Wrexham is in Wales though, where the only reason you could travel any “significant distance” was to go to work
5.
Which group is the COVID-19 virus most dangerous for?
Children
People aged 70 and above
People with underlying health conditions
Older people and those with underlying health conditions
Unlike most infectious diseases, children are not the most at risk group from COVID-19. Healthy adults are also not at serious risk as their immune systems can beat the virus
6.
Which of these were you allowed to do in June 2020?
Stay in a hotel
Stay on a campsite
Go abroad
Attend a Premier League football match
You were allowed to visit certain countries overseas – ones which had opened their borders to foreign visitors. All the other options were still banned
7.
How can you tell if someone has COVID-19?
You can’t
They have a persistent cough
They have a cough and a fever
They have a cough, a fever, and are tired
The virus can take up to two weeks before symptoms start to show. In mild cases, there might be no symptoms at all
8.
In July, 2020, in England, what was the minimum distance you were meant to keep between yourself and those from outside your household?
0.5 metres
1 metre
1.5 metres
2 metres
The minimum distance was 2 metres, but in late June Boris Johnson announced that this would be reduced to 1 metre from July 4th, as long as one “mitigation” is in place
9.
In March 2020 all schools in England were closed. Some children started to return on June 1st but when were all pupils expected to be back at school?
Early July
Late July
September
Nobody knew
, and it was planned for others to join them later in June and July. The initial plan was for all schools to be fully open by September, but Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, hinted that this may not be possible
10.
Was there a cure for COVID-19 in 2020?
Yes, a drug only available to those most at risk
No, if you got the virus you would die
Yes, a drug only available to the very rich
