Thrill seekers in Japan will soon get to enjoy their favorite roller coasters again now that amusement parks around the country are reopening after the coronavirus-related lockdown. But there's one request they might struggle with: No screaming. With Japan lifting the state of emergency this week, a group of major theme park operators has introduced a set of guidelines on how to ensure the safety of both guests and staff in the face of COVID-19. Many of the items are to be expected, recommending increased sanitizing measures, regular body temperature checks and face mask use while emphasizing the importance of practicing social distancing. However, some items will likely take visitors by surprise, namely a suggestion that theme parks encourage visitors riding outdoor attractions, including roller coasters, to avoid shouting or cheering, which is obviously no mean feat. The guidelines also say that if it's difficult for some employees to wear masks due to the nature of their work for example entertainers, such as haunted house staff, they should keep at least one meter away from visitors. Customer service may also be compromised, note the guidelines, as conversations should be kept as short as possible. "As a new style of customer service, even when you're wearing a mask, you can use a combination of smiley eyes, hand gestures, etc., to effectively and safely communicate with visitors," says one of the suggestions.

Studies are now revealing that the number of individuals who carry and can transmit the new coronavirus, yet remain completely asymptomatic, is larger than originally thought. The realisation that asymptomatic people can spread an infection is not completely surprising. In fact, all bacterial, viral and parasitic infections – ranging from malaria to HIV – have a certain proportion of asymptomatic carriers. Research has even shown that at any one time, all of us are infected with between eight and 12 viruses, without showing any symptoms. Despite this knowledge, many public health officials in countries around the world failed to take into account the threats posed by asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19. This is largely because they were working on models based on Cô Phạm Liễu - https://www.facebook.com/lieupham.fatima Page 1 CÔ PHẠM LIỄU [DẬY SỚM HỌC BÀI CÙNG HỌC SINH 2K3] influenza, which suggest that only 5% of people infected are asymptomatic. As a result, the large scale diagnostic testing regimes required to pick up asymptomatic COVID-19 cases were not in place until too late. “I warned on 24 January to consider asymptomatic cases as a transmission vehicle for COVID-19, but this was ignored at the time,” says Bill Keevil, professor of environmental healthcare at the University of Southampton. While scientists still can’t conclude whether asymptomatic people are as contagious as those who display symptoms, there are still many ways in which they can pass on COVID-19, says Rein Houben, an infectious diseases researcher at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical medicine. Houben points out that, because most asymptomatic people have no idea they are infected, they are unlikely to be self-isolating, and studies have shown this has contributed to the rampant spread of the virus in facilities such as homeless shelters and care homes. He says this means there is a need for regular diagnostic testing of almost all people in such closed environments, including prisons and psychiatric facilities. “When it comes to controlling Covid-19, this really shows that we cannot rely on self-isolation of symptomatic cases only,” says Houben. “Going forwards we need trace and test approaches to account for individuals who are not reporting any symptoms.” (Adapted from theguardian.com) Question 6: Which best serves as the title for the passage? A. The Global Health Officials’ Mistake That Made COVID-19 Spread Faster B. Uncontrolled COVID-19 Spread In Confined Spaces: What Are The Causes? C. Asymptomatic COVID-19 Cases: A Bigger Threat Than Initally Thought D. Why Do Some People Carry The Coronavirus Without Showing Symptoms? Question 7: According to paragraph 2, the fact that an infection can be spread by people who display no symptoms is __________. A. a groundbreaking finding that would help us stop the coronavirus B. very important but still mostly ignored by global health officials C. an evidence that health officials do not understand COVID-19 D. not very astonishing given what we have learned about viruses Question 8: The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to __________. A. officials B. countries C. threats D. models Question 9: The word “vehicle” in paragraph 3 can be best replaced by ___________. A. technique B. method C. machine D. process Question 10: According to paragraph 3, what is the main reason why health officials neglected the risks of asymptomatic COVID-19 transmission? A. Because they lacked diagnostic testing equipment to detect asymtomatic cases. B. Because the models they use underestimated the proportion of asymptomatic cases. C. Because they wrongly applied what they know about other diseases like influenza. D. Because testing regimes to gather data about asymptomatic cases were not in effect. Question 11: The word “rampant” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ___________. A. dynamic B. assertive C. forceful D. unchecked Question 12: Which of the following is NOT TRUE, according to the passage? A. Those infected with malaria or HIV can still display no symptom of these diseases. B. Large scale testing regimes to find asymotmatic cases were not put in place in time. C. Asymptomatic COVID-19 cases are much more infectious than symptomatic ones. D. People showing no symptoms after infection can still spread diseases in many ways. Question 13: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. COVID-19 is the disease with the highest percentage of asymptomatic cases. B. Professors at universities know more about COVID-19 than health officials do. C. Unless asymptomatic cases are taken into account, COVID-19 cannot be stopped. D. Asymtomatic cases are the largest contributing factor to the spread of COVID-19. Cô Phạm Liễu - https://www.facebook.com/lieupham.fatima Page 2
