The novel coronavirus, which    1    (origin)in the Chinese city of Wuhan and has now spread to 12 countries, has much in common     2     seasonal flu. They are both viral infections, share similar symptoms and crucially can spread from human to human. In the midst of flu season in much of the northern hemisphere,    3     (tell) the difference between the two will be vital in stopping its spread.

Human coronaviruses, of     4    there are four, can cause infections similar to flu: while many symptoms are mild, both can lead     5     pneumonia （肺炎）and become lethal（致命的）. However, the novel coronavirus（新型冠状病毒） is     6    (serious) than a "typical influenza infection," says Ian Jones, a professor of virology at the University of Reading.

Flu can spread from person to person from up to six feet away,     8    (large) caused by liquid emitted when the inflicted cough or sneeze. Those infected are usually contagious for around three days following the beginning of     9     illness, although this time-frame could stretch to over a week.

All this and more remains a mystery as for the new coronavirus. To understand the virility of the outbreak, Jones urges a focus     10    whether or not international cases lead to secondary infections. "If they don't," he explains, "it would suggest that the virus doesn't transmit quite so well: clearly all the people on the airplane (that traveled from an infected zone) didn't get it."

4 . Pang Hui placed a few more pairs of chopsticks on the table for a family dinner, though she did not expect her big family of seven would use them as serving chopsticks.

Surprisingly, her 75-year-old father, who used to shrug off the idea of serving chopsticks, became a firm supporter this time, said Pang, 40, from Beihai, a coastal city of South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Chinese people often share dishes, and diners use their own chopsticks to serve themselves food from the shared dishes, a tradition now being challenged by the outbreak of novel coronavirus.

“We feel a sense of crisis as well as the urge to desert our old habits when we see reports of family infections,” Pang said; pointing to the reports of the virus spreading via droplets (飞沫) and close contact.

Local governments are helping to encourage a shift, too. On Feb 10, local authorities of Beihai started a campaign promoting serving chopsticks and spoons, which will avoid cross-infections caused by the use of personal chopsticks.

Similar measures were also adopted in other cities like BeiJing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. Taizhou city in east China's Jiangsu Province even standardized the colours of serving chopsticks and spoons to help diners differentiate (区分) them from personal ones.

The government is also targeting the practice of eating wild animals, which remains present in certain areas.

China stopped the illegal trading and transportation of wild animals shortly after the outbreak.

The move became a permanent ban on Feb 24, when the country made a decision on thoroughly prohibiting (禁止) the illegal trading of wildlife and the consumption of wild animals.

Li Bo, with the Hainan International Center for Wildlife' Protection, said wild animal consumption could lead to the faster extinction of particular species, damage the ecological balance and harm people's health.

“The epidemic (流行病) could become a turning point to eliminate the bad habit,” Li said.
