    Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the recently discovered

    corona virus.

    Most people who catch COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and will recover
    without special treatment.

    HOW TO SPREAD THIS VIRUS

    The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets that are produced when
    an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy and cannot stay in
    the air, so they quickly fall and stick to floors or other surfaces.

    You can catch it by breathing air that contains the virus if you are too close to someone who is
    already infected with COVID-19. You can also get it if you touch a contaminated surface and
    then touch your eyes, nose or mouth.

    Coronavirus is a collection of viruses that can infect the respiratory system. In many cases, this
    virus only causes mild respiratory infections, such as 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 the 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.

    Symptoms of Corona Virus (COVID-19)

    What indicates that the initial symptoms of being infected with the Corona virus 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. sufferers with severe
    symptoms can experience high fever, cough with phlegm and even bleeding, shortness of breath,
    and chest pain. These symptoms appear when our bodies react against the corona virus.

    but the most specific or general symptoms that are often clearly seen in someone infected with
    the corona virus are fever (body temperature above 38 degrees Celsius), dry cough, and shortness
    of breath).

    The only way we can protect ourselves and those around us is to take appropriate precautions.
    Follow the advice given by the local health authorities where we are located.

    To prevent the spread of COVID-19 we can do the following ways:

     wash your hands regularly. Use soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
     Always maintain a safe distance from people who are coughing or sneezing.
     Wear a mask if physical restrictions are not possible.
     Don't touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
     when coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with an arm or tissue.
     Don't leave the house if you don't feel well.
     If you have fever, cough or difficulty breathing, seek medical help immediately.
    Penyakit virus corona (COVID-19) adalah penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh virus corona
    yang baru-baru ini ditemukan.

    Sebagian besar orang yang tertular COVID-19 akan mengalami gejala ringan hingga sedang, dan
    akan pulih tanpa penanganan khusus.

    CARA PENYEBARAN VIRUS INI

    Virus yang menyebabkan COVID-19 terutama ditransmisikan melalui droplet (percikan air liur)
    yang dihasilkan saat orang yang terinfeksi batuk, bersin, atau mengembuskan nafas. Droplet ini
    terlalu berat dan tidak bisa bertahan di udara, sehingga dengan cepat jatuh dan menempel pada
    lantai atau permukaan lainnya.

    Anda dapat tertular saat menghirup udara yang mengandung virus jika Anda berada terlalu dekat
    dengan orang yang sudah terinfeksi COVID-19. Anda juga dapat tertular jika menyentuh
    permukaan benda yang terkontaminasi lalu menyentuh mata, hidung, atau mulut Anda.

    Coronavirus adalah kumpulan virus yang bisa menginfeksi sistem pernapasan. Pada banyak
    kasus, virus ini hanya menyebabkan infeksi pernapasan ringan, seperti flu. Namun, virus ini juga
    bisa menyebabkan infeksi pernapasan berat, seperti infeksi paru-paru (pneumonia).

    Virus ini menular melalui percikan dahak (droplet) dari saluran pernapasan, misalnya ketika
    berada di ruang tertutup yang ramai dengan sirkulasi udara yang kurang baik atau kontak
    langsung dengan droplet.

    Selain virus SARS-CoV-2 atau virus Corona, virus yang juga termasuk dalam kelompok ini
    adalah virus penyebab Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) dan virus penyebab Middle-
    East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). Meski disebabkan oleh virus dari kelompok yang sama,
    yaitu coronavirus, COVID-19 memiliki beberapa perbedaan antara SARS dan MERS,
    yaitu antara lain dalam hal kecepatan penyebaran dan keparahan gejala.

    Gejala Virus Corona (COVID-19)

    Yang menandakan gejala awal terinfeksi virus Corona atau COVID-19 bisa menyerupai gejala
    flu, yaitu demam, pilek, batuk kering, sakit tenggorokan, dan sakit kepala. Setelah itu, gejala
    dapat hilang dan sembuh atau malah memberat. Penderita dengan gejala yang berat bisa
    mengalami demam tinggi, batuk berdahak bahkan berdarah, sesak napas, dan nyeri dada. Gejala-
    gejala tersebut muncul ketika tubuh kita bereaksi melawan virus corona.

    Namun yang paling spesifik atau gejala umum yang sering terlihat dengan jelas pada seseorang
    yang terinfeksi virus corona yaitu demam (suhu tubuh di atas 38 derajat Celsius)Batuk kering,
    dan sesak napas).

    Cara yang dapat kita lakukan untuk melindungi diri kita dan orang lain di sekitar kita adalah
    dengan mengambil langkah pencegahan yang sesuai. Ikuti saran yang diberikan oleh otoritas
    kesehatan setempat dimana kita berada.

    Untuk mencegah penyebaran COVID-19 dapat kita lakukan cara-cara berikut:

     Cuci tangan Anda secara rutin. Gunakan sabun dan air, atau cairan pembersih tangan
    berbahan alkohol.
     Selalu jaga jarak aman dengan orang yang batuk atau bersin.
     Kenakan masker jika pembatasan fisik tidak dimungkinkan.
     Jangan sentuh mata, hidung, atau mulut Anda.
     Saat batuk atau bersin, tutup mulut dan hidung Anda dengan lengan atau tisu.
     Jangan keluar rumah jika merasa tidak enak badan.
     Jika demam, batuk, atau kesulitan bernapas, segera cari bantuan medis.
