CORONAVIRUS: THE WORLD STOPPED Read the text then answer the questions below Everyone loves shopping malls. In summer as in winter, people jostle in these fantastic places filled with varied shops and various animations. Indeed, even if you don't want to buy something, it's still worth spending time in shopping malls. The shopping center is the ideal place to have a good time with family, friends or work colleagues. People go there in particular to enjoy a good burger, sitting by the fountain or while watching a dance performance. In terms of stores, you can find everything in a shopping center: hypermarkets for shopping, clothing and sports stores, bookstores, etc. You won't be bored in such a busy place. But things have changed. The coronavirus that appeared in December in China has spread rapidly around the world, causing a major health and economic crisis. Closure of stores, shops, borders, confinement of populations, declarations of emergency, suspension of air and sea links. The situation is worse in Italy. The whole country is in total standstill. In Ghana, markets in the capital, Accra have been closed to allow authorities to fumigate .... against COVID19. France and the world are barricading themselves to fight the pandemic. The hospitals are looking for medical and paramedical professionals such as the auxiliary nurse, the nurse, the doctor, the masseur-physiotherapist, the specialist in radio-manipulator, pulmonary, the stretcher bearer or even the laboratory technician to reinforce their teams. In the store, the supermarket and the shops, there is a mad rush for the articles and to prevent the shelves from being stolen and there is nothing left for the latest arrivals, for all its customers, some stores now limit the purchases of essential products . They decided to set up a kind of rationing. In one of the stores, a poster tells customers that purchases of basic necessities are now limited. It is written black on white, in bold and underlined: "two articles maximum per product". It starts at the entrance: supermarkets now regulate the number of people inside shops to avoid close contact on the shelves. Queues are created outside. Here, as everywhere, the basic and most effective rule to apply is to keep a distance of one meter between each person and to respect the barrier gestures - cough in his elbow, use disposable tissues, do not touch his face with his hands dirty - to avoid contamination. Inside, signs are multiplying measures to reassure their customers. In this Parisian supermarket for example, posters have been scattered throughout the store, and indicate that the handles of baskets like scales "are cleaned every three hours". On the shelves, employees tirelessly busy disinfecting the handles of the fridge doors. In the catering department, employees "change their gloves regularly and systematically after being in contact with a customer", reassures a sign. Fear of the Covid-19 still causes supermarket rushes. Even if it has calmed down a bit, it will still sometimes be very difficult to find pasta, rice or paper in the bathroom.1.
