Artikel
Corona virus or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-
CoV-2) is a virus that attacks the respiratory system. This disease due to viral
infection is called COVID-19. The Corona virus can cause minor disturbances to
the respiratory system, severe lung infections, and death. Severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), better known as the Corona
virus, is a new type of coronavirus that is transmitted to humans. This virus can
attack anyone, such as the elderly (elderly), adults, children and babies,
including pregnant women and nursing mothers.
Corona Virus - Alodokter Corona virus infection is called COVID-19
(Corona Virus Disease 2019) and was first discovered in the city of Wuhan,
China at the end of December 2019. This virus is contagious and has spread to
almost all countries, including Indonesia, in just a few months. This has led
several countries to implement policies to impose lockdowns in order to
prevent the spread of the Corona virus. In Indonesia itself, a Large-Scale Social
Restriction (PSBB) policy was implemented to suppress the spread of this virus.
Coronavirus is a collection of viruses that can infect the respiratory system. In
most cases, this virus causes only minor respiratory infections, such as the flu.
However, this virus can also cause severe respiratory infections, such as lung
infections (pneumonia).
This virus is transmitted through sputum droplets from the respiratory
tract, for example when in a crowded closed room with poor air circulation or
direct contact with droplets. Apart from the SARS-CoV-2 virus or Corona virus,
viruses that are also included in this group are the viruses that cause Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the viruses that cause Middle-East
Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). Even though it is caused by a virus from the
same group, namely the coronavirus, COVID-19 has several differences from
SARS and MERS, including in terms of the speed of spread and the severity of
symptoms.

Death Rate Due to Corona Virus (COVID-19) The Corona virus that causes
COVID-19 can attack anyone. According to data released by the Task Force for
the Acceleration of Handling of COVID-19 of the Republic of Indonesia, the
number of confirmed positive cases as of December 21, 2020 is 664,930 with a
death toll of 19,880. The case fatality rate due to COVID-19 is around 3%.
When viewed from the percentage of mortality rates divided by age group, the
46-59 year age group has a higher percentage of mortality than other age
groups. Meanwhile, based on gender, 56.6% of sufferers who died from
COVID-19 were male and the remaining 43.4% were women. Symptoms of the
Corona Virus (COVID-19) Early symptoms of Corona virus infection or COVID-19
can resemble flu symptoms, namely fever, runny nose, dry cough, sore throat,
and headache.
After that, the symptoms may disappear and heal or even get worse.
Patients with severe symptoms can experience high fever, cough with phlegm
and even bleeding, shortness of breath, and chest pain. These symptoms
appear when the body reacts against the Corona virus. In general, there are 3
general symptoms that can indicate a person is infected with the Corona virus,
namely: Fever (body temperature above 38 degrees Celsius) Dry cough Hard to
breathe There are several other symptoms that can also appear in Corona virus
infection, although they are less common, namely: Diarrhea Headache
Conjunctivitis Loss of taste ability Loss of ability to smell (anosmia) Rash on the
skin These symptoms of COVID-19 generally appear within 2 days to 2 weeks
after the patient is exposed to the Corona virus. Some patients infected with
the Corona virus can experience decreased oxygen without any symptoms.
This condition is called happy hypoxia.
In order to ascertain whether these symptoms are symptoms of the
Corona virus, a rapid test or PCR is needed. To find a place to do a rapid test or
PCR near your home, click here. When to see a doctor Immediately carry out
independent isolation if you experience symptoms of Corona virus infection
(COVID-19) as mentioned above, especially if in the last 2 weeks you have been
in an area that has a COVID-19 case or has had contact with a person with
COVID-19. After that, call the COVID-19 hotline at 119 Ext. 9 for further
guidance. If you may have been exposed to the Corona virus but don't
experience any symptoms, you don't need to go to the hospital, just stay at
home for 14 days and limit contact with other people. If symptoms appear,
then do self-isolation and ask the doctor by telephone or the application about
what actions you need to take and what drugs you need to take. If you need a
direct examination by a doctor, do not go directly to the hospital because that
will increase your risk of contracting or transmitting the Corona virus to other
people. You can make an appointment with a doctor at the hospital through
the ALODOKTER application so that you can be directed to the nearest doctor
who can help you. ALODOKTER also has a feature to help you check your risk of
contracting the Corona virus more easily. To use this feature, please click the

(COVID-19) Corona virus infection or COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus,
which is a group of viruses that infect the respiratory system. In most cases,
coronavirus causes only mild to moderate respiratory infections, such as the
flu. However, this virus can also cause severe respiratory infections, such as
pneumonia, Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). There are allegations that the Corona virus was
originally transmitted from animals to humans. However, it was later
discovered that the Corona virus was also transmitted from human to human.
A person can catch COVID-19 in various ways, namely:
Accidentally inhaling the saliva (droplet) that comes out when a person
with COVID-19 coughs or sneezes Hold the mouth or nose without washing
hands first after touching an object that has been splashed with the saliva of a
person with COVID-19 Close contact with people with COVID-19 The Corona
virus can infect anyone, but the effect will be more dangerous or even fatal if it
occurs in elderly people, pregnant women, people who have certain diseases,
smokers, or people whose immune systems are weak, for example in cancer
patients. Because it is easily transmitted, the Corona virus is also at high risk of
infecting medical personnel who treat COVID-19 patients. Therefore, medical
personnel and people who have had contact with COVID-19 patients need to
wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Diagnosis of Corona Virus (COVID-
19) To determine whether a patient is infected with the Corona virus, the
doctor will ask about the symptoms experienced by the patient and whether
the patient has recently traveled or lives in an area that has a case of Corona
virus infection before symptoms appear. The doctor will also ask if the patient
has had contact with people who have or are suspected of having COVID-19.
To confirm a diagnosis of COVID-19, the doctor will perform the following
tests: Rapid test to detect antibodies (IgM and IgG) produced by the body to
fight the Corona virus Swab test or PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test to
detect the Corona virus in sputum CT scan or chest X-ray to detect infiltrates or
fluid in the lungs A positive COVID-19 rapid test result most likely indicates that
you are already infected with the Corona virus, but it could also mean that you
are infected with other germs or viruses. Conversely, a negative COVID-19
rapid test result does not necessarily indicate that you are absolutely free from
the Corona virus. Corona Virus Treatment (COVID-19) There is no truly
effective drug to treat Corona virus infection or COVID-19. Treatment options
will be tailored to the patient's condition and severity. Some patients with mild
or no symptoms will be advised to carry out an independent home isolation
protocol while still taking steps to prevent the spread of Corona virus infection.
In addition, doctors can also provide several steps to relieve symptoms
and prevent the spread of the corona virus, namely: Referring people with
severe COVID-19 to undergo treatment and caratina at a referral hospital
Provide fever and pain relievers that are safe and in accordance with the
patient's condition Encourage sufferers of COVID-19 to carry out independent
isolation and get adequate rest Encourage sufferers of COVID-19 to drink lots
of water to maintain body fluid levels Complications of Corona Virus (COVID-
19) In severe cases, Corona virus infection can cause the following
complications: Pneumonia (lung infection) Secondary infection in other organs
Kidney failure Acute cardiac injury Acute respiratory distress syndrome Dead In
addition, in some cases, a person can also experience a condition called post-
acute COVID-19 syndrome, even though it has been declared cured of a Corona
virus infection. Corona Virus Prevention (COVID-19) Until now, there is no
vaccine to prevent Corona virus infection or COVID-19. However, several
pharmaceutical companies and health institutions are working to research and
develop a vaccine for COVID-19. If it passes clinical trials and is declared
effective and safe to prevent COVID-19, more vaccines will begin to be
produced so that they can be given to the public. Therefore, the best
prevention method is to avoid the factors that can cause you to be infected
with this virus, namely: Apply physical distancing, which is to maintain a
minimum distance of 1 meter from other people, and don't go outside the
house first unless there is an urgent need. Use a mask when doing activities in
public places or crowds, including when you go shopping for groceries and
attend worship on holidays, for example Eid al-Adha.
Routinely wash your hands with soap and water or hand sanitizer that
contains at least 60% alcohol, especially after doing activities outside the home
or in public places. Do not touch your eyes, mouth and nose before washing
your hands. Increase endurance with a healthy lifestyle, such as eating
nutritious foods, exercising regularly, getting adequate rest, and preventing
stress. Avoid contact with sufferers of COVID-19, people who are suspected of
being positive for the Corona virus, or people who are sick with fever, cough,
or runny nose. Cover mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing,
then throw the tissue in the trash. Keep clean objects that are often touched
and the cleanliness of the environment, including cleanliness of the house. For
people who are suspected of being exposed to COVID-19 (including the suspect
and probable categories) previously referred to as ODP (person under
monitoring) or PDP (patient under surveillance), there are several steps that
can be taken so as not to transmit the Corona virus to other people, namely:
Do independent isolation by living separately from other people for a while. If
this is not possible, use a different bedroom and bathroom than those used by
other people. Do not leave the house, except to get treatment. If you want to
go to the hospital when your symptoms get worse, you should first contact the
hospital to pick you up. Forbid others to visit or visit you until you are
completely cured. As much as possible do not have meetings with people who
are sick.
Avoid sharing eating and drinking utensils, toiletries, and sleeping
equipment with other people. Wear a mask and gloves when in public or with
other people. Use a tissue to cover your mouth and nose when coughing or
sneezing, then immediately throw the tissue in the trash. Conditions that
require immediate treatment by a doctor in a hospital, such as childbirth,
surgery, dialysis, or vaccination of children, need to be handled differently with
some adjustments during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal is to prevent
transmission of the Corona virus while you are in the hospital. Consult with
your doctor about the best action that needs to be done.
