진행자: 임정요, Kevin Lee Selzer 1. Cabin fever sets in for those in isolation for coronavirus [1] A 32-year-old librarian in Gumi-dong, Gyeonggi Province, who is expecting a baby in May, has not left her house for four days. Her daughter, 4, has been home all day since her day care center shut down due to the COVID-19 outbreak. “I am pregnant so I am very cautious about the ongoing situation, and there is no place for my first child to play these days. ... It is really stressful for me and my daughter,” the woman said. “Over the past four days, a 15-minute walk to the grocery store to buy some food was all I left the house for.” *expecting: 임신한 *day care center: 어린이집 *cautious: 주의깊다 *ongoing: 진행중인 [2] As the number of novel coronavirus cases continues to spike, people have begun to isolate themselves as a form of voluntary quarantine.

The method (of transmission) is uncertain, it is difficult to predict and it is unclear when it will end,” Yoon said. “A lot of energy is spent, but there are very few means for recharging, such as meeting with people for small talk, going out for cultural events or appreciating nature. Burnout happens easily. Then we may have depression,” Yoon explained. “Although resources are limited, people need to seek ways to alleviate negative emotions, such as taking up a hobby at home or talking to family members,” Yoon advised. *regard: 간주하다 *draining: 피로하게끔 하다 *constantly: 멈추지 않고, 계속해서, 끊임없이 *predict: 예측하다 *unclear: 불투명하다 *means: 방법 *alleviate: 완화시키다 기사 전문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200303000763 2.
