Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 30 to 34.
The coronavirus is usually transmitted by droplets, such as those produced when coughing and sneezing, and
by direct or indirect contact with secretions infected by the virus. The virus may also shed in blood, urine and faeces,
and, therefore, there is potential for transmission through contact with a wide range of bodily fluids. Certainly,
person-to-person spread has been confirmed in community and healthcare settings across Asia and into Europe.
There is also a possibility that asymptomatic carriers may be able to infect people. Public Health England (PHE) has
classified the COVID-19 infection as an airborne, high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK.
The application of infection prevention and control (IPC) principles are already widely used by healthcare
professionals within hospital and community settings to both prevent the spread of infections and to control
outbreaks when they do occur. The WHO has issued interim guidance regarding IPC when COVID-19 is suspected.
This advice is echoed by guidance issued by PHE.
PHE suggests the coronavirus may pose complications, such as illness pneumonia or severe acute respiratory
infection. They also suggest that patients with long-term conditions or are immunocompromised are at risk of these
complications. It is important that as first-line staff, midwives are also familiar with the recommended IPC principles
and measures, and ensure they have the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when caring for a patient
with suspected COVID-19.

A. the problems related to the coronavirus

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
A surgical mask is a loose-fitting, disposable device that creates a physical barrier between the mouth and
nose of the wearer and potential contaminants in the immediate environment. Surgical masks are regulated under
21 CFR 878.4040. Surgical masks are not to be shared and may be labelled as surgical, isolation, dental, or medical
procedure masks. They may come with or without a face shield. These are often referred to as face masks, although
not all face masks are regulated as surgical masks.
Surgical masks are made in different thicknesses and with different ability to protect you from contact with
liquids. These properties may also affect how easily you can breathe through the face mask and how well the
surgical mask protects you.
If worn properly, a surgical mask is meant to help block large-particle droplets, splashes, sprays, or splatter
that may contain germs (viruses and bacteria), keeping it from reaching your mouth and nose. Surgical masks may
also help reduce exposure of your saliva and respiratory secretions to others.
 While a surgical mask may be effective in blocking splashes and large-particle droplets, a face mask, by design,
does not filter or block very small particles in the air that may be transmitted by coughs, sneezes, or certain medical
procedures. Surgical masks also do not provide complete protection from germs and other contaminants because of
the loose fit between the surface of the face mask and your face.
Surgical masks are not intended to be used more than once. If your mask is damaged or soiled, or if breathing
through the mask becomes difficult, you should remove the face mask, discard it safely, and replace it with a new
one. To safely discard your mask, place it in a plastic bag and put it in the trash. Wash your hands after handling the
used mask.
