You probably have some
questions you want answered
about the coronavirus.
Here's one.
 What does it mean that
 the coronavirus outbreak
 is now a pandemic?
First it was called an outbreak.
Now it's a pandemic.
Pandemic doesn't mean panic.
It doesn't mean we're all
going to get sick.
It means the coronavirus is
spreading to more countries
and there are more and more
cases every day.
Remember, kids who get
the coronavirus
are not getting super sick.
Most of them just feel like
they have a cold.
It's the elderly people in our
lives, like our grandparents,
who we need to protect.
They're the ones who are
getting the most sick,
especially if they aren't
healthy to begin with.
So wash your hands,
stay home if you're sick,
and check out cbckidsnews.ca
for more information.
