In recent months, the coronavirus outbreak centered in China has caused global concern. Covid-19, as the disease is known, originated at a seafood and meat market in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. It has since spread to other countries, including the United States.
Tens of thousands of cases have since been confirmed worldwide, largely in mainland China. Hundreds of cases have also been confirmed on a cruise ship. Authorities are now trying to stop the virus spreading further, restricting millions of people from traveling and introducing strict quarantines.
With the case toll rising steeply, surgical masks flying off store shelves, and businesses, cruise ships, and entire cities upended by the virus — it's no wonder questions and fears are swirling about the novel coronavirus disease. Have you educated yourself regarding the coronavirus and how to protect yourself during this outbreak? Take this quiz to find out how ready you are.

To be fair this quiz is out dated so I got the question

Great work! You have a good amount of knowledge regarding Covid-19 and will surely have no problem beating this disease! Share this quiz with your loved ones so they can learn how to protect themselves from coronavirus too!
These questions must have been written when the Co vid was rampant because in Australia we have had a vaccine to prevent it since 2021.
My result should be 13 / 15 not 12 / 15 where the question said “is there a vaccine to prevent it? ” The answer says NO which is wrong because there is one.
6 / 4 / 25
15/15 terrific!!!
