        Corona virus or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a virus that attacks the respiratory system. This disease caused by a viral infection is called COVID-19. Corona virus can cause mild distrubances to the respiratory system, severe lung infections, to death. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), better known as the Corona virus is a new type of coronavirus that is transmitted to humans. This virus can affect anyone, both infants,children, adults, the elderly, pregnant women, and nursing mothers.
Coronavirus infection is called COVID-19 and was first discovered in the city of Wuhan,China at the end of December 2019. The virus is transmitted very quickly and has spread to almost all countries, including Indonesia, in just a few months. Why do people get infected with coronavirus? Coronavirus infection or COVID-19 is caused by coronavirus, which is a group of viruses that infect the respiratory system. Coronaviruses only cause mild to moderate respiratory infections, such as flu. However, this virus can also cause severe respiratory infections, such as pneumpnia, Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Coronavirus can infect anyone, but the effect will be more dangerous or even fatal if it occurs in elderly people, people who have certain diseases, or people who are weak immune systems, smokers, and pregnant women.
A person can get COVID-19 through a variety of ways, namely: accidentally inhaling saliva splashes (droplets) that come out when COVID-19 sufferers cough or sneeze, hold the mouth or nose without washing hands first after touching an object affected by saliva splashes of a COVID-19 sufferer, close contact with sufferers of COVID-19. Transmission and spread of SARS-CoV 2 (COVID-19) coronavirus infection can occur in two ways. Covid-19 transmission occurs through direct and indirect means. Direct transmission of Covid-19 through droplets or saliva spashes. This means that people who are infected with this virus when they are coughing and sneezing more than 1 meter apart produce a droplet. This droplet contains the Covid-19 virus. Covid-19 transmission can be through an indirect way, ie the corona positive droplet falls to the ground or touches the contaminated object so that its touching hands are contaminated.
The spread and transmission of the coronavirus is very fast in various countries, therefore we as a community in order to avoid the virus take action in accordance with the recommendations given by the government. Diligently washing hands and implementing social distance and physical distance.
