Corona Virus

1. Understanding the Corona virus

What is Corona virus? The form of the virus that is still related to the cause of SARS and MERS is exactly the crown. The shape of the crown is characterized by protein S in the form of shoes that are spread around the surface of the virus.
Quoted from the LIPI website, Corona virus has one RNA chain so it is often called an RNA virus. This type of virus mutates faster than DNA by a million times.

2. Symptoms of the corona virus

a. Fever
b. Cough
c. Shortness of breath
According to the CDC, symptoms of the Corona virus may have been seen from 2-14 days. This estimate is based on the Corona virus incubation period in the MERS case. But unlike in the case of MERS, the 2019-nCoV infection can spread from patients who have no symptoms but have close communication with others.

3. Corona virus attacks who?

Corona virus attacks who? Quoted from The Guardian, victims who died of Coronavirus are generally old and have had health problems before. They have a weak immune system so they are easily infected with the Corona 2019-nCoV virus. But the Chinese government has five cases of death from the Corona virus that are less than 60 years old, namely 36, 50, 53, 55, and 58 years.
Therefore, it is very important to make preventive efforts to protect themselves and virus infections. Preventive efforts must be carried out from various ages, despite having good endurance.

4. Corona Virus Prevention

a. Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or a hand washing that contains at least 60 percent alcohol
b. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
c. Avoid close contact with sick people
d. Stay at home if you are sick

5. Use a mask and clean the surface that was touched

Regarding the mask, you should use a protective nose and mouth area with a small pore size. Quoted from the LIPI website, the Corona virus that causes SARS is round with a diameter of 100-120 nm (nanometers). Therefore, prevention of Corona virus infection is more effective when using masks that are porous smaller than 100 nm.

6. Regarding Wuhan, China

Wuhan, China, was the initial location for the discovery of the Corona2019-nCoV virus case and continues to spread among its inhabitants. Quoted from CNN, the Corona virus caused 300 deaths and 14,300 confirmed cases throughout China.
Some regions deplored the slow reaction of the government in handling, providing explanations, and preventing cases such as those in Hong Kong. Quoted from the National Public Radio site, the Corona Hong Kong virus caused health workers to protest if the government did not close the border with China. The sisters threatened to walk out of health facilities due to minimal action from the local government.
Other developments related to the Japanese Corona virus have now become 20 cases. Quoted from the Japan Times, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has ordered further treatment to prevent, deal with and repatriate its citizens from Wuhan, China. For the Corona Batam virus, Indonesia has yet to be confirmed.
