CORONA PANDEMIC

CORONA PANDEMIC

   Coronavirus, or a medical term, called 2019 novels of coronavirus (2019-ncov), is avirus that causes worldwide anxiety. It's a new virus, which is has not yet been found a cure/vaccine. This virus originally attacked a place in China, wuhan. The virus is first known to appear in animal markets and seafood in the city of wuhan. It was reported later that many patients suffer from the virus and are found to be linked to the animal market and the seafood. Quoted from the BBC, BBC health and science correspondent michelle Roberts and James gallager said, at the wholesale market for animals and seafood, wild animals such as snakes, bats, and chickens are sold. They think the new corona virus can almost certainly originate from snakes. It is thought that this virus spread from animal to human, and then from human to human. It instantly spread out into China, causing thousands of lives die. Over  the time, the virus spread to other countries. Many countries were affected by this virus including Indonesia.

   In Indonesia, the first known case of the corona virus is March 2, 2020. The case was delivered directly by President RI, Jokowi, in the Presidential palace. He revealed that this case affected two depok civilians, west Java. According to his statement, the two indonesians are a mother (64 years of age) and her daughter (31 years of age). Both of them are suspected of contracting the corona virus due to contact with Japanese citizens coming to Indonesia.Until now (22/03) the virus has been spread throughout Indonesia. There are 514 indonesians on positive corona virus, 48 people died and 29 people recovered from the disease. Therefore, the government began setting in on a lockdown system. The government also publishes work orders from homes for workers and learns from homes for students . With the following efforts,  the government wishes Indonesia people to do a self quarantine so that the virus doesn't spread quickly and expected to reduce contact with people. Therefore, as Indonesian citizens, we are expected to follow all direction from the government to suppress the propagation of this virus and to maintain good health.
  

   As one of good Indonesia citizens , we need to help governments to curb the spread of the virus. Governments already gave some instruction for the citizens like doing self quarartine, avoid the crowded, began setting a lockdown, work orders from homes for workers and learns from homes for students, and so on. However, it is not enough to keep us to not get affected the virus. We can also do something to protect ourselves from the virus. WHO provided some means to protect us from the coronavirus. The first thing we can do is washing our hands regularly for 20 seconds, with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub. Wet your hands and scrub them with soap, taking care to get between your fingers and under your nails. Wash for at least 20 seconds and dry. Next is try to always wearing a mask in public. everyone (even people who appear to be healthy) should wear a mask when shopping at the grocery store or going out in other public places, to avoid unwittingly spreading the virus. Then Avoid close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell. When we saw someone who was look sick or not healthy, try to avoid them. Eventhough they are might not have the virus, we have to always be cautious all the time . And the last is always stay at home. When you don’t have any bussines to go outside, please try to stay at home. Well, I know it is hard to not get boring in home but this action can save our family and the community to not get affected the virus. I know it is annoyed us because we can’t do daily activities like we used to do like a few months ago, but this virus tried to tell us to always be clean and cautious with our environment.
