CORONA VIRUS

The spread of new SARS-COV2 corona virus outbreaks that causes

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) continues to spread in the world. As of

Wednesday (11/3/2020), 118 countries have recorded positive cases of corona

virus infection. In fact, WHO has designated the spread of this new type of corona

virus as a global pandemic.

In response to this, there are several steps you can take to prevent corona

virus infection, the first is to always wash your hands. Hand washing is

considered the simplest but effective way to prevent corona virus. Hand washing

can be done by making sure all parts of the hands are washed clean for 20

seconds. After that, dry your hands with a bed, clean towel, or hand dryer.

The second step is to avoid touching the eyes, nose and mouth area. Why?

Because it turns out, if a part of the face is touched by a hand that has not been

determined to be protected from the corona virus, these three areas are where they

spread. So it is recommended to avoid touching the face, especially these three

parts.

The third step is doing the practice of respiratory hygiene. Because as it is

known that the corona virus is a group of viruses that can cause disease in animals

and humans, where several types of corona viruses infect the respiratory tract in

humans ranging from coughs to colds to more serious ones.

 Then there is social distancing. And this is what is currently the policy of

the Indonesian government. Social distancing is considered to slow the rate of

spread of the corona virus, because with the enactment of social distancing the

interaction done with other people is also minimal because they are ordered to

stay at home.

Now, if one day it is felt that there are symptoms of being infected with a

corona virus, such as high fever, coughing, and difficulty in breathing, then hasten

to do the examination to the nearest hospital. Because, if it is really infected with a

virus and just keep quiet then it is likely to transmit it also to others.

Therefore, keep waiting for information and follow the development of

this corona virus while maintaining health. Do not let government policies impose

social distancing instead in vain and there is no benefit.

Maintaining personal hygiene, diligently cleaning your hands using soap

or hand sanitizer, don't just touch anyone else, and avoid the crowd as much as

possible. Hopefully this corona virus will disappear soon.
