Here I will talk about a time when I read a health-related article online.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, I got <strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">curious<\/span> <\/strong>about exploring more facts and details related to COVID-19 which is also known as Coronavirus. I finally came across a relevant article on the World Health Organisation\u2019s official website. The title of the article was \u201cCoronavirus explained\u201d. I began reading it at midnight as the caption itself seemed <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>intriguing<\/strong><\/span>. I read that COVID-19 is an <strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">infectious<\/span> <\/strong>disease caused by \u2018Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>It was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has resulted in a pandemic that is still <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>prevalent<\/strong> <\/span>and spreading its <strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">tentacles<\/span> <\/strong>all over the world. It was mentioned in the article that there are around 20.6 million active cases worldwide with roughly 24 lakh cases in India. Moreover, 749,000 people have died so far due to it and people who have been recovered are 12.8 million. It caused widespread <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>havoc<\/strong> <\/span>in France, U.S.A and China. Further, I learnt that people with weak immunity such as the elderly, young children or people suffering from chronic illnesses such as diabetes are more <strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">vulnerable<\/span> <\/strong>to fall prey to this <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>contagious<\/strong> <\/span>disease.<\/p>\n<p>I further read that it has certain symptoms such as fever, dry cough, shortness of breath, loss of sense of smell and fatigue however in some cases it may be <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>asymptomatic<\/strong><\/span>. It can lead to several severe <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>complications<\/strong> <\/span>such as respiratory distress, pneumonia and kidney failure. The article stated that usually when once a person is infected with this virus, the signs and symptoms take 2-14 days to <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>manifest<\/strong><\/span>. It can be detected by CT scan or RT-PCR testing. People who get infected must be quarantined and taken care of by health professionals with great precautions as it is communicable.<\/p>\n<p>At the end it was written that one can prevent this deadly disease by maintaining social distance, wearing masks, especially when going out, avoiding crowded places and using hand sanitizers. It was advised in the article to strengthen immunity by increasing Vitamin C intake, exercise at home and consuming turmeric milk. Also, people should cover their face and nose while sneezing or coughing to prevent droplet infection.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed quite an <strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">illuminating<\/span> <\/strong>write-up which gave me enough <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>insight<\/strong> <\/span>that I sought. I believe anyone who would or have read this report would indeed be enlightened because it contained all the details about the causes, symptoms, effects as well as remedies for COVID-19.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Vocabulary:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>enlightening<\/strong>: providing detailed information about something<\/p>\n<p><strong>curious<\/strong>: something interesting to look upon<\/p>\n<p><strong>intriguing<\/strong>: very interesting<\/p>\n<p><strong>infectious<\/strong>:\u00a0a disease that can pass from one person to another<\/p>\n<p><strong>prevalent<\/strong>: happens often<\/p>\n<p><strong>tentacles<\/strong>: an animal like an octopus<\/p>\n<p><strong>havoc<\/strong>: cofusion that can cause damage<\/p>\n<p><strong>vulnerable<\/strong>: that can be easily hurt<\/p>\n<p><strong>contagious<\/strong>: a disease that can pass by touching someone<\/p>\n<p><strong>asymptomatic<\/strong>: a disease that shows no symptoms<\/p>\n<p><strong>complications<\/strong>: something that makes a situation more difficult<\/p>\n<p><strong>manifest<\/strong>: demonstrate<\/p>\n<p><strong>illuminating<\/strong>: make information for easier to understand<\/p>\n<p><strong>insight<\/strong>: an in-depth understanding<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Describe an article on heath that you read from a magazine or online What the article was When and where you read it What you learned from the article Explain&#8230;<\/p>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/describe-an-article-on-heath-that-you-read-from-a-magazine-or-online\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading <i class=\"fas fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2690,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2959,6],"tags":[1573,1574,139,2186,2699,2187],"yst_prominent_words":[2763,1304,89,1226,224,487,166,1603,559,208],"class_list":["post-2689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cue-cards","category-speaking","tag-ielts-speaking","tag-ielts-speaking-cue-card","tag-ielts-speaking-tips","tag-ielts-speaking-vocabulary","tag-recent-ielts-exam-question","tag-topic-related-vocabulary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2689"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2689\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3230,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2689\/revisions\/3230"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2689"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=2689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
