Diary 1

Today is the third day of the Chinese New Year. However, it is a unique new year for all the Chinese people, as everyone has to stay at home over this holiday week due to the coronavirus. We typically would visit our relatives, but given that such activity would most likely not only result in more people being exposed to it, but also help in spreading it, the government simply banned everyone from traveling. Unfortunately, as an employee of the wild animal control department, my mother had to leave our home to perform her duties. Naturally, we are extremely concerned about her safety under these circumstances, and told her to take every precaution to protect her health.*

Because of the corona virus, all of us have to stay at home for the holidays. In previous years, we usually visit relatives during the spring festival Spring Festival holidays before. But this tradition behavior would cause more people get the virus, so the government decided to forbid people doing it this year.

But my mother, as an employee of the wild animal control department, she had to answer left home for answering the call of duty. We were very worried about her safety and asked her to take care.
