XII IPS 1 • What is Covid ? Covid-19, or often people call as Corona, is a virus that was discovered on March 2, 2020. The COVID- 19 virus is a virus that attacks the respiratory system of humans and can cause death if the virus case is fatal. This virus was first discovered in Wuhan because of a person who ate a bat. Since this virus actually already exists but only in animals, it has never spread to humans. However, because of the act of eating bats, this virus can spread widely, and until now it is still spreading and the world has not found a solution because the virus cannot be "cured". 2. Spread of COVID-19 Covid 19 spreads mainly through droplets released by humans, for example when talking in a close distance together without wearing a mask, sneezing, and coughing. But it can also be transmitted through objects held by people who are infected with COVID, so hand sanitizers play an important role in the pandemic. Even though the infection rate was not very high in the past, now COVID has evolved to become more severe and the infection and death rate are very high. 3. The impact of COVID-19 on the human body This virus attacks very specific parts of the body, like the lungs and throat, but there are some cases where COVID attacks the brain and can cause memory loss. The characteristics of people who have been contaminated with COVID are fever, chills, excessive coughing, excessive dizziness, shortness of breath, and a runny nose. If you are infected, you must seek immediate medical attention or self-isolate in your respective homes. 4. Preventing COVID-19 This virus cannot be underestimated because the human population has decreased drastically due to this deadly virus. The way to prevent it is by taking vitamins regularly, be discipline and obey the rules given out by the government, and most importantly, staying at home to reduce the number of COVID sufferers and also keep others safe from this deadly virus.
