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 faces, 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. It also suggests that patients with long-term conditions or are immune compromised 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.

Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.

Because geologists have long indicated that fossil fuels will not last indefinitely, the U.S government finally acknowledged that sooner or later other energy sources would be needed and, as a result, turned its attention to nuclear power. It was anticipated that nuclear power plants could supply electricity in such large amounts and so inexpensively that they would be integrated into an economy in which electricity would take over virtually all fuel-generating functions at nominal cost. Thus, the government subsidized the promotion of commercial nuclear power plants and authorized their construction by utility companies. In the 1960s and early 1970s, the public accepted the notion of electricity being generated by nuclear power plants in or near residential areas. By 1975, 54 plants were fully operational, supplying II percent of the nation's electricity, and another 167 plants were at various stages of planning and construction. Officials estimated that by 1990 hundreds of plants would be online, and by the turn of the century, as many as 1000 plants would be in working order.
 
Since 1975, this outlook and this estimation have changed drastically, and many utilize have canceled existing orders. In some cases, construction was terminated even after billions of dollars had already been invested. After being completed and licensed at a cost of almost $6 billion, the Shoreham Power Plant on Long Island was turned over to the state of New York to be dismantled without ever having generated electric power. The reason was that residents and state authorities deemed that there was no possibility of evacuating residents from the area should an accident occur.
 
Just 68 of those plants underway in 1975 have been completed, and another 3 are still under construction. Therefore, it appears that in the mid1990s 124 nuclear power plants in the nation will be in operation, generating about 18 percent of the nation's electricity, a figure that will undoubtedly decline as relatively outdated plants are shut down.
What was initially planned for the nation's fuel supply?
  • Expansion and renovation of existing fuel-generating plants.
  • Creation of additional storage capacities for fossil fuels.
  • Conversion of the industry and the economy to nuclear power.
  • Development of an array of alternative fuel and power sources.
How does the author describe the attitude of the population in regard to nuclear power as fuel in the early to the mid-1970s?
  • Apprehensive
  • Ambivalent
  • Receptive
  • Resentful

  • the expectation for increase in the number of nuclear plants
  • the possibility of generating electricity at nuclear installations
  • the forecast for the capacity of the nuclear plants
It can be inferred from the passage that government officials made a critical error in judgment by _____.
  • disregarding the low utility of nuclear power plants
  • relying on inferior materials and faulty plant design
  • overlooking the possibility of a meltdown, however remote
  • locating installation in densely wooded areas

In paragraph 2, the word "terminated" is closest in meaning to _____.
