Australia's coronavirus self-isolation rules: who has to do it and how it works



where did u find the article? The Guardian.

what is the date of your article? Wed 1 March 2020.

what is the headline? Australia's corona virus self-isolation rules; who has to do it and how it works.

from reading the headline what do you think this article will be about? I expect that this article will be about the special rules for people who come from overseas to prevent the spread of corona virus disease.

what is the main information in the article?
From midnight on Sunday 15 March, everyone entering Australia from overseas, except for flight attendants and residents of the Pacific Islands, will be required to self isolate for 14 days upon arrival.

what are two things the article tells you? Self-isolation rules/ monitoring yourself.

find two negative and two positive word or phrase?
positive: be able to take/ healthy
negative: you can not have visitor/avoid going outside

what does these words tell you about the writer's point of view? The writer intends to encourage people to do a certain thing and to prohibit them from doing other things.

Identify the source of information the writer refers to the article? 
News
International Live Blog
Prime Minister Scott Morrison
Brett Sutton (chief health officer)
Chris Moy ( the south Australian president of Australian Medical Association)
Peter Gollignon (an infectious disease expert from Australian National University)
Daniel Andrew ( the Victorian premier)

what information do these sources give? they are all resources or people who each perform their duties to protect the society in this difficult situation.

what is the link between the graph or words in the article? these are links that lead us directly to a more specific explanation on a particular topic.

Personal reflection:
My opinion about this issue is that the disease is really serious and people needs to be more careful and obey self-isolation rules if they come from overseas, they also have to observe health tips while they got a simple cold or sneezing or coughing.
information that given in the article are very useful. In addition, it gives people explanation of how act in the community during the corona-virus disease as well as quarantine time.
