your home during this time of the coronavirus.

Wherever you are, I hope you and your family are all safe and well and yeah, this is a

difficult, challenging time for all of us and we have a lot of information coming at

us, so much information, so fast that it can make us feel confused and worried and scared

So, there's also a lot of new vocabulary, and old vocabulary that's being used in different

ways, so I wanted to help you to understand this vocabulary in English and also to be

able to speak about it to your friends, your colleagues or even to medical staff if you

So, this video is going to be a little bit different from our usual lesson, but I'm going

to try to give you a lot of information that I hope will help you, alright?

As you know, I'm an English teacher, right?

I'm not a doctor and I'm teaching you English.

hear, understand in your own language as much as possible.

When it comes to your health, you want to be as clear as possible about the instructions

So, whenever possible, use your own native language for that purpose.

However, if you live, right now, in an English speaking country and you need to understand

what's being said around you about this virus by the medical authorities, by the media,

then this video will definitely help you and also, if you just want to use this time to

improve your English, to be able to understand more of what's being said, to be able to discuss

this issue, the problems, the issues, the solutions, okay?

Then, again, this lesson will give you many of the words and concepts that you need to

So, first of all, let's start with the name of this illness.

That comes from the words "coronavirus disease 2019", alright?

For example, you could say, "He has COVID-19", or, you could make it negative and say, "He

They're using different terms for this illness.

They're saying "COVID-19", "coronavirus", "the coronavirus", "the new coronavirus" "the

novel coronavirus", "novel" just means "new", okay?

So, you might hear different expressions for this illness itself.

Another way you could say it is, as I said, "She has the coronavirus.", instead of just

Or, "She doesn't have the coronavirus", alright?

A little more formal way they often use and you might hear on the news is "They tested

positive for the coronavirus", or "They tested negative for COVID-19", so if somebody tested

positive, it means they have the virus, and if they tested negative, they don't have the

It means that you're showing some kind of physical or mental signs of this illness,

and what are some of those common symptoms of the coronavirus?

And you saw, of course, and you know because I'm sure you get this advice in your language

that if you need to cough, or if someone is coughing, they should cough where?

This is your elbow, you should cough in here.

How do we say that, how do we use that in a sentence?

You know, when your nose is running and you're going [sniff] all day long, okay, or you take

a tissue and you blow your nose, alright, then you would say: She has a cold.

Okay, again, into this part of your elbow.

He is sneezing, is how we would say that in a sentence.

It means your feeling, you know, warm or hot, right?

And, what is - what are some of the other words connected to having a fever?

So, you could also say: He has a temperature.

Temperature just measures the amount of heat in your body, right?

Or, if somebody - if you tell somebody that someone has a fever, probably the next question

will be "What's his temperature?", or "What's her temperature?", or "What's your temperature?"

So, we could say "His temperature is 39 degrees.", or "His temperature is 101 degrees", okay,

is "Her body hurts", okay, if you're describing to someone else what's happening to someone.
