The COVID-19 Virus has caused major disruption to our lives.
COVID-19 Quiz
There’s no escaping it. COVID-19, or Corona Virus, has been the dominant issue in the news since early 2020. There have been millions of cases worldwide, and hundreds of thousands of deaths. Here in the UK, we have fared badly, with more than 30,000 deaths – the worst figures in the whole of Europe.
The pandemic has also had a major effect on our day to day lives. Schools and work places have been closed, and social distancing rules have 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, 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.

Fever
Tiredness
A continuous cough
All of the above

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
