请阅读下面材料，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。
During the outbreak of COVID-19, it's true that medical staff is worth our respect and admiration. However, ordinary people are doing their parts in their own way. According to reports, many families try to do whatever can help stay healthy and safe at home.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in mid-January, most places across the country have started emergency（紧急的）rules calling on all the people to stay at home. Following the government's rules, most Chinese people have given up their Spring Festival family gatherings to stay at home. They all wear masks when they have to go out. It's not easy, specially for teenagers.
“Staying at home for more than 25 days is quite challenging, which means I can't have fun with my friends face to face and I feel quite bored and lonely," said Zeng Jingxian, a senior high student. “But as a citizen, I have the duty to do so to protect myself and slow the spread of the virus（病毒）.”
In an interview on Jan 28, the famous Chinese respiratory（呼吸系统）expert Zhong Nanshan suggested that people should not hang out around their cities. This way, it will reduce the risk of infection（传染）. Chinese internet users even sent a video, which translates to “Stay at home until Zhong allows us to go out”.
Actually, following the rules not only control the spread of virus, but also helps people develop a healthier habit in daily life. Since we were very young, our parents and teachers have told us to wash our hands regularly. ln truth, many people forget or don't bother to wash their hands before eating. With the outbreak of the virus, they have started to keep it in mind and practice it with more patience.
Indeed, everyone can't live well without the group. As we deal with a public crisis（危机）, everyone should follow the advice of medical organizations and professionals.

Coca-Cola, for example, placed the letters of its famous brand further away from each other to show social distancing. The encouraging sentence "Today, being apart is the best way of being together." is printed below the logo. McDonald's Brazil has separated its famous arches(拱门)in a picture posted on its Facebook page. Other global companies, including Audi and Nike, have also posted similar logo changes online.
