Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered

coronavirus. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to
moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people,
and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic
respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. The best way to
prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the
disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing
your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face. The COVID-
19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an
infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory
etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).
According to WHO, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a dramatic loss of human lives
worldwide and presents unprecedented challenges to public health, food systems and the
world of work. The economic and social disruption caused by this pandemic is devastating:
tens of millions of people risk falling into extreme poverty, while the number of
malnourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690 million, could increase to 132 million
by the end of this year. Governments around the world, including Indonesia, have to decide
what are the priorities for overcoming this problem.
 It cannot be denied that the impact of Corona has made several people have to be laid off.

people will start doing business to encourage economic growth, Like yin and yang, Corona
causes several businesses to collapse. However, other sectors do well during a pandemic,
namely health-related businesses. For example, a cloth mask-making business. Currently,
there are many cloth mask sellers and their prices are affordable. Apart from masks, herbal
remedies such as jamu to increase endurance are also selling well.
The business of personal safety equipment, as well as hand washing gel, is also selling well.

Before Corona appeared and spread everywhere, the food business was already good.
However, since this outbreak, more and more people are looking to make online purchases.
Moreover, eating out is not completely safe. So, rather than risk catching a virus, order online
instead.
 Populist economic activities will help Indonesia survive until the pandemic subsides.
Otherwise, the economy as a whole will crumble. Moreover, Indonesia is also overshadowed
by a recession in the aftermath of stagnant economic activity. For that, people must also be
willing to move forward and not give up.
The only way to survive is to carry out economic activity. Economic activity is not always
associated with big business. Even a small, home-based business if it works well can help.
The most important thing is to look for good opportunities and to run the business seriously.
