CLEAN : Coronavirus: Iceland screens swathes of its population to counter spread of COVID-19

The video discusses Iceland's approach to understanding and controlling a virus. It highlights the screening of people from regions with high virus prevalence and the importance of knowing how widely the virus has spread in the community. The video also covers the sequencing of the virus to study its mutations, which aids in tracing infections. Iceland's efforts contribute to protecting those at risk and provide valuable insights for future virus management.

What is the primary reason for screening people from certain regions?

• To ensure everyone is tested equally

• To detect the virus in people from high-risk areas

• To find out how the virus spreads in Iceland

• To identify those who have traveled recently

Why is it important to sequence the virus?

• To determine the virus's origin

• To find a cure for the virus

• To understand how the virus mutates

• To develop a vaccine

How does sequencing the virus help in managing the outbreak?

• It reduces the spread of the virus

• It increases immunity in the population

• It stops the virus from mutating

• It helps in tracing infections

What is the goal of Iceland's research on the virus?

• To understand the virus's spread and protect high-risk groups

• To develop a new testing method

• To eliminate the virus completely

• To isolate all infected individuals

What future benefit does Iceland hope to gain from their current virus research?

• To prevent future pandemics

• To improve healthcare infrastructure

• To enhance economic growth

• To develop new medical treatments
