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.
This virus infection is called COVID-19 and was first discovered in the city of Wuhan, China, at the end of December 2019. This virus spread quickly and has spread to other regions in China and to several countries, including Indonesia. This has made several countries abroad implement policies to impose lockdowns in order to prevent the spread of the Corona virus.
Coronavirus is a collection of viruses that can infect the respiratory system. In many cases, this virus only causes mild respiratory infections, such as flu. However, this virus can also cause severe respiratory infections, such as lung infections (pneumonia), Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
Symptoms of Corona Virus (COVID-19)
The initial symptoms of Corona virus infection or COVID-19 can be flu-like symptoms, such as fever, runny nose, dry cough, sore throat, and headache. After that, symptoms can worsen. Patients can experience high fever, cough with phlegm and even blood, shortness of breath, and chest pain. These symptoms appear when the body reacts against the Corona virus.
However, in general there are 3 general symptoms that can indicate someone is infected with the Corona virus, namely:
Fever (body temperature above 38 degrees Celsius)
Cough
Hard to breathe
According to research, symptoms of COVID-19 appear within 2 days to 2 weeks after exposure to the Corona virus.
When to see a doctor
Immediately do independent isolation if you experience symptoms of Corona virus infection (COVID-19) as mentioned above, especially if symptoms appear 2 weeks after contact with sufferers of COVID-19 or are in an area that has COVID-19 cases. After that, contact the COVID-19 hotline at 119 Ext. 9 for further guidance.
If you might be exposed to the Corona virus but don't experience any symptoms, you don't need to see a hospital, just stay at home for 14 days and limit contact with others.
If you need a direct examination by a doctor, do not go directly to the hospital because that will increase your risk of contracting or transmitting the Corona virus to others.
