COVID-19 pandemic
The covid-19 pandemic is like when you catch a really bad cold that makes you feel very sick. But instead of just you getting sick, lots and lots of people all over the world are getting sick too!
This sickness is caused by germs called the coronavirus. It's a new virus that scientists and doctors are still learning about.
To help stop the virus from spreading, people have to do some things that might feel weird or different. For example, we have to wear masks to cover our noses and mouths, and we have to try to stay away from other people as much as we can. This is called social distancing.
Lots of schools, stores, and restaurants have had to close because of the virus. This is to keep people from being too close together and spreading the virus even more.
People who are older or who have other medical problems can get very, very sick from the coronavirus. That's why it's important to follow the rules and keep everyone safe.
Scientists and doctors are working very hard to try to find a way to stop the virus and make people feel better when they're sick. We all have to work together and be patient until they figure it out!
