Why is Lockdown so important?
Lockdown is important because at the moment as you probably know there is a massive global pandemic happening, it is called Covid 19. It is a terrible virus happening across the world where 1000s of people have died. It is kind of like a cold but much worse and very contagious.
The symptoms of Covid 19 are,
A fever of at least 38℃
A yucky cough
Sore throat
Shortness of breath
Sneezing and runny nose
Temporary loss of smell or taste
To stop this horrible virus the government of New Zealand has decided to put the whole country in lockdown for a few weeks. Lockdown is when everyone has to stay inside until lockdown is over. You are only allowed to leave your home if you have to get food or any type of necessary items and to exercise. It is very important to go outside for a bit during this lockdown, because it is quite a depressing and miserable time for everyone and going outside is good. There is a vaccine for the virus, you can still get the virus but you won’t get sick, 1000s of people around New Zealand have taken the vaccine.
Lockdown is for our own good. We need it so we can all stop this virus, we have done it before and we can do it again! I know that this is a very difficult time for everyone, but just remember that this is for our own good and hopefully it will all be over soon.
Kia ora Zara, I like how you have included symptoms for Covid 19. I hope this will all be over soon and it will be safe for us to return to school. What physical activities have you been doing during this lockdown?
ReplyDeleteThanks, I haven't done much physical activity but I've gone for runs and I've walked my dog.
DeleteMorning Zara, well done you show great understanding of what this pandemic is and the impact it is having right around the world. It's great that you shared such detailed information and symptoms so we are clear about what we need to look out for. It's been a huge ask for the country to go back into lockdown. Personally I think they have done the right thing and am relieved to see we are currently reducing our numbers who have been infected with Covid. We have been really lucky with the weather once again . What outdoor activities have you been doing?
