Corona virus is a family of viruses found in humans and animals. Some of the viruses can correct humans and cause a variety of diseases, ranging from general illnesses such as flu, to more fatal diseases, such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
The following are some common ways of transmitting the Covid-19 corona virus as follows: Contact with Frequently Touched Items Objects are a medium that can be a massive mode of transmission. Because, according to research, the COVID-19 corona virus can survive up to three days by sticking to the surface of objects. These objects are allegedly objects that are often touched by members of the body such as the hands that carry the corona covid-19 virus. By sticking the virus on the surface of objects that are often touched, the virus can automatically move and find new hosts when others touch the object.
According to weforum.org, the resistance of viruses depends on the type of surface on which they are attached. Research shows, the corona virus can last up to 72 hours on a hard and shiny surface. Viruses only replicate inside living cells, outside cells, they are able to infect us, or destroy themselves. The level of resistance of viruses outside cells varies, ”writes weforum.org. The researchers found SARS-CoV-2 remained contagious in air droplets for at least three hours. This does not mean that infected humans produce enough viruses after coughing to infect others. But the possibility still exists. The virus also spreads through touch if the virus attaches to the object being touched then the hand is placed in the nose or mouth then the virus can be transmitted. Hard and shiny surfaces such as plastic, stainless steel, and glass can support viruses to survive in these objects for 72 hours. But the activity of the virus can decrease rapidly during this time. Medium, on fibrous and absorbing surfaces such as cardboard, paper, cloth and burlap, the virus will be inactive in a faster time than in hard and shiny objects.
The percentage of deaths due to Covid-19 cases in Indonesia is the second highest in Southeast Asia. When compared with the country of origin of the spread of this disease, namely China, Indonesia has passed it. Coronavirus Covid-19 Global Case issued by Johns Hopkins University (JHU), the percentage of deaths due to coronavirus or Covid-19 cases in Indonesia reached 8.37 percent.
