COVID – 19

 WHAT IS THE MEANING OF COVID – 19?


Corona virus or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is a virus that attacks
the respiratory system. The disease caused by this viral infection is called COVID-19.
Corona virus can cause mild disorders of the respiratory system, severe lung infections,
and even death.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, better known as the Corona virus, is a
new type of coronavirus that is transmitted to humans. This virus can attack anyone, such
as the elderly (older groups), adults, children, and infants, including pregnant women and
breastfeeding mothers.

This virus is transmitted through phlegm (droplets) from the respiratory tract, for
example when in a crowded closed room with poor air circulation or direct contact with
droplets.

 WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF THE COVID – 19?


Early symptoms of Corona virus infection or COVID-19 can resemble flu symptoms,
namely fever, runny nose, dry cough, sore throat, and headache. After that, the symptoms
may disappear and heal or even get worse. Patients with severe symptoms may
experience high fever, cough with phlegm and even blood, shortness of breath, and chest
pain. These symptoms appear when the body reacts to the Corona virus.

These symptoms of COVID-19 generally appear within 2 days to 2 weeks after the
patient is exposed to the Corona virus. Some patients infected with the Corona virus can
experience a decrease in oxygen without any symptoms. This condition is called happy
hypoxia.

To determine whether these symptoms are symptoms of the Corona virus, a rapid test or
PCR is needed.

 WHAT ARE CAUSES OF THE COVID – 19?


Corona virus infection or COVID-19 is caused by coronavirus, which is a group of
viruses that infect the respiratory system. In the vast majority of cases, the coronavirus
only causes mild to moderate respiratory infections, such as the flu. However, this virus
can also cause severe respiratory infections, such as pneumonia, Middle-East Respiratory
Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).

There are allegations that the Corona virus was originally transmitted from animals to
humans. However, it was later discovered that the Corona virus was also transmitted
from human to human.

A person can get COVID-19 in various ways, namely:


1. Accidentally inhaling droplets of saliva that come out when a person with
COVID-19 coughs or sneezes.
2. Holding your mouth or nose without washing your hands first after touching an
object that has been splashed by a person with COVID-19.
3. Close contact with people with COVID-19.
4. Corona virus can also be transmitted through objects that are often touched, such
as money, doorknobs, or table surfaces.

Corona virus can infect anyone, but the effect will be more dangerous or even fatal if it
occurs in elderly people, pregnant women, people who have certain diseases, smokers, or
people whose immune systems are weak, for example in cancer patients.

 WHAT CAN BE DONE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEPATIENT IS


INFECTED WITH THE COVID – 19?
1. Rapid test, to detect antibodies (IgM and IgG) produced by the body to fight the
Corona virus.
2. Rapid antigen test, to detect antigens, namely proteins that are on the outside of
the virus.
3. Swab test or PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test, to detect the Corona virus in
sputum.
4. CT scan or chest X-ray, to detect infiltrates or fluid in the lungs.
5. Complete blood test, to check the levels of white blood cells, D-dimer and C-
reactive protein.
6. In addition, the test using the GeNose tool can also be used as a screening or
initial examination to detect the Corona virus.

 WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PREVENT THE COVID – 19?


Currently, Indonesia is conducting periodic COVID-19 vaccinations to the Indonesian
people. Even though vaccination has started to run, the best way to prevent it is to avoid
factors that can cause you to be infected with this virus, namely:

1. Apply physical distancing, which is to keep a distance of at least 1 meter from


other people, and don't go out of the house unless there is an urgent need.
2. Use a mask when active in public places or crowds, including when going
shopping for groceries and attending worship on holidays, such as Eid al-Adha.
3. Wash your hands regularly with soap and water or a hand sanitizer that contains at
least 60% alcohol, especially after activities outside the home or in public places.

4. Do not touch your eyes, mouth and nose before washing your hands.
5. Increase endurance with a healthy lifestyle, such as eating nutritious foods,
exercising regularly, getting enough rest, and preventing stress.
6. Avoid contact with people with COVID-19, people who are suspected of being
positively infected with the Corona virus, or people who are sick with fever,
cough, or cold.
7. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw
the tissue in the trash.
8. Keep objects that are frequently touched and the environment clean, including the
cleanliness of the house.

For people suspected of being affected by COVID-19 (including suspect and probable
categories) previously referred to as ODP (people under monitoring) or PDP (patients
under surveillance), there are several steps that can be taken so as not to transmit the
Corona virus to others, namely:

1. Do self-isolation by staying apart from other people for a while. If this is not
possible, use a bedroom and bathroom that is different from that used by other
people.
2. Do not leave the house, except to get treatment.
3. If you want to go to the hospital when your symptoms get worse, you should first
contact the hospital to pick you up.
4. Forbid other people to visit or visit you until you are fully healed.
5. As much as possible do not have meetings with people who are sick.
6. Avoid sharing the use of eating and drinking utensils, toiletries, and sleeping
equipment with others.
7. Wear a mask and gloves when in public or with other people.
8. Use a tissue to cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, then throw
the tissue in the trash immediately.
