Study at home

The increasing number of Covid-19 corona virus cases in Indonesia has moved people to lend a helping hand. Distributing together through the Covid-19 outbreak through donations was echoed everywhere.

Various policies have been taken. President Joko Widodo on March 15, 2020 gave his approval for the community to carry out activities from home. Many companies have decided that their companies do work from home (WFH) or work from home.

Teaching and learning activities in schools and colleges are also closed and carried out at home. This status is valid for the next 14 days.

Honestly, hearing that I am very happy that school will be closed for the next 14 days. But on the other hand I'm also scared because of this corona virus outbreak.

But apparently this is not a vacation. When the school is closed we have to do online assignments. It turns out school is more fun than a holiday with stacking assignments.

But to avoid stress due to piled up tasks, I help my parents do chores like sweeping, washing dishes, cooking, and so on. I was also forbidden to leave the house either to stalls, markets etc. Even so I'm still happy. And if I am allowed to leave the house because there is something that cannot be delayed, I will use a mask as a way to protect myself from being exposed to this corona virus and also to live a healthy life as well as maintaining hygiene.

What are the symptoms of people who are exposed to the corona virus, its causes and ways to prevent being exposed to the corona virus? Come, see the sentence below.

A.  Symptoms of people who are exposed to the corona virus are experiencing flu symptoms, such as fever, cough, sore throat, and headache; or symptoms of severe respiratory infections, such as high fever, cough with phlegm and even bleeding, shortness of breath, and chest pain. 

However, in general there are 3 general symptoms that can indicate someone is infected with the corona virus, namely:

1. Fever (body temperature above 38 degrees Celsius).

2. Cough.

3. Shortness of breath.

According to research, symptoms of COVID-19 appear within 2 days to 2 weeks after exposure to the corona virus.

B.  There are also causes of people who are exposed to the corona virus as follows:

1. Accidentally inhale a splash of saliva from sneezing or coughing sufferers of COVID-19.

2. Holding your mouth or nose without washing your hands first after touching an object affected by COVID-19 saliva splashes.

3. Close contact with people with COVID-19, such as touching or shaking hands.

C.  The virus that causes schools to be closed must be a virus that is very easy to spread and dangerous. Therefore, there are several ways to prevent transmission of this corona virus outbreak, as follows:

1. Wash your hands often.

2. Apply social distancing.

3. Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.

4. Perform the correct rules of sneezing.

5. If you have a fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, get treatment immediately.
