    "Crown. Spike proteins on these viruses\' outer coating give them the appearance of a crown or halo."],
    ["There is more than one coronavirus. A: True / B: False", True,
    "There are hundreds of coronaviruses, and some of them cause disease in humans, such as mild colds and more serious illnesses or death. The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, along with those that cause SARS and MERS are examples of coronaviruses that can cause serious illness in people."],
    ["An effective hand sanitizer contains at least this percentage of alcohol to kill the coronavirus and other germs:\n\
    A: 80%\n\
    B: 60%", False,
    "60%. Lower alcohol content may make a hand sanitizer less effective in killing the coronavirus and other pathogens."],
    ["Once you are fully vaccinated you may not be required to wear a mask in public places. A: True / B: False", True,
    "The CDC has updated its recommendations on resuming some activities once you have completed your COVID-19 vaccines and allowed at least two weeks for your immune system to respond after your last shot.

    ["Staying apart from other people when you have been exposed to the coronavirus is called:\n\

    "The virus that causes Covid-19 is stable for several hours in tiny floating particles, known as aerosols, and up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel, U.S. researchers showed. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in March concluded that the novel coronavirus can survive four hours on copper, 24 hours on cardboard, 48 hours on stainless steel and 72 hours on plastic."],

While you are waiting to be tested, be sure to take appropriate precautions in terms of self-isolating to ensure you don\'t spread it to others if you are positive."],
    ["Smoking can pose specific risks around COVID-19. A: True / B: False", True, 
    "If smokers are in close contact with others, this can increase the risk of spreading and contracting COVID-19.

Experts advise that any steps you can take to protect your respiratory health throughout the pandemic are a good idea."],
    ["Living in a condo increases the risk of COVID-19. A: True / B: False", False, 
    "All the current evidence suggests COVID-19 is not spread through air ducts, so there is no added risk of living in a condo or apartment building in terms of how air is circulated. However, sharing common spaces (e.g., elevators, lobbies, gyms) means that you should wear your mask continuously in these areas, clean and disinfect where applicable and clean your hands frequently."],
    ["What are the best ways to regain strength if you\'ve been affected by COVID-19?:\n\
    A: A combination of strength and aerobic activity\n\

Start slowly, but focus on building up aerobic capacity through activities you enjoy, like walking, running, swimming or cycling. For strength training, you can use weights, body resistance or even weighted items you might already have at home, like water bottles. Try to build up the amount of time and resistance in a slow but steady pace."],
