1. Definition
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause diseases ranging from the
common cold to more severe illnesses such as the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome
(MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). Coronavirus disease
(COVID-19) is a new species discovered in 2019 and has never been identified in humans.
Corona virus is zoonosis, meaning that it is transmitted between animals and humans.
Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from mongoose to humans
and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Some coronaviruses are known to
circulate in animals that have not yet infected humans.
Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, coughing, shortness of
breath and difficulty breathing. In more severe cases, the infection can cause pneumonia,
acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and even death. Standard recommendations for
preventing the spread of infection include washing hands regularly, covering the mouth and
nose when coughing and sneezing, cooking meat and eggs thoroughly. Avoid close contact
with anyone who shows symptoms of respiratory illnesses such as coughing and sneezing.
2. History
In December 2019 there was a group of pneumonia cases in a Chinese investigation
found that it was caused by a previously unknown virus which is now named the Covid-19.
This virus is a new type of Corona virus that causes respiratory illnesses that can range from
the common cold to fever. This virus is associated with seafood and animal markets in
Wuhan City. The disease has spread from those who are sick to others including family
members and health care staff there and even has spread to a number of countries
transmitted from animals such as camel bats weasel history of the virus had originally
occurred in the Middle East region namely Saudi Arabia related to the Arab camels
3. Prevention
 Symptoms that arise such as lethargic cough fever must be watched to prevent it we can
do a clean lifestyle someone infected can be diagnosed with a test called the PCR or
polymerase chain reaction this test identifies the virus at this time there is no specific cure
for the virus and treatment is supportive care for protect us. Vaccines are still being
developed but the spread of there are some standard hygiene practices that are recommended
to protect from infection and spread it further. including closing your mouth and nose When
coughing or sneezing, wearing a mask or elbows bent when sneezing or coughing, avoiding
contact with those who are not healthy, washing hands regularly with soap and water or
alcohol-based hand rubbing measures that can be taken to prevent infection. When cooking
animal products must be cooked until cooked before consumption. it's important to stay
home if you feel unwell. but if you suffer from fever and cough immediately go to the health
service
To prevent transmission we can use a mask, you should find metal at the top of the
page. Tighten it around your ear or tie strings behind your head and make sure it covers your
nose and chin. when used do not touch the front because the front part of the mask is where
the virus attaches. Do not let us transfer the virus to our hands after that, throw the mask in
the trash and wash your hands after handling the mask
4. Characteristic
Corona virus is a small virus, a new virus that can be transmitted from human to
human. when coughing or sneezing the virus is able to spread at a distance of 1 m from
people affected by this virus to healthy people. This virus is able to survive on inanimate
objects and stick to more or less for 9 hours. therefore avoid touching the face because
contaminated hands can move the virus
5. Nursing planning :
a) forming a special team to deal with patients in the hospital
b) expanding a special examination to find out what is happening transmission
c) conduct laboratory tests on cases of Corona virus infection
d) advise people who show symptoms such as respiratory symptoms to stay at home,
isolate themselves and immediately go to a health care facility
e) recommend that you stay clean and healthy
Summary
The issue that is still trending lately is about the Corona virus. where the virus is spread
from animals to humans, the beginning of the transmission of this virus actually has existed since
2003 in Saudi Arabia then the virus is gone and this virus appears again in the Wuhan area
precisely in the animal market. there are many that sell animals to eat. this virus can spread from
a distance of 1 m but until now the cure has not been found. for that we need to take care of
ourselves, do preventive prevention such as reducing outdoor activities, eating healthy food,
drinking water. if we show symptoms such as fever, cough we can go to a health care facility.
WHO has praised the efforts of the Chinese authorities in managing and overcoming
the corona virus. confidence in China's approach to controlling the epidemic and calling for
people to remain calm. prevention and control continue to be carried out by the government and
health authorities related to the virus. the public is called upon to protect themselves and their
families from becoming infected with the virus.
