1. About the Corona Virus
tarting in December 2019, the new coronavirus from Wuhan, China has been spreading around the world.
Even in Japan, many people have been confirmed to have contracted the virus.
To avoid spreading the virus, it is important to wash your hands regularly and pay attention to the way you cough and sneeze.
