Corona Virus or Covid 19

Corona virus is thought to originate from animals, such as bats and camels, and can be transmitted from animals to humans, as well as from humans to humans. Human transmission is most likely through sputum sparks when coughing or sneezing. 

When infected with the Corona virus, a person will experience flu-like symptoms, such as fever, cough, and runny nose. However, a few days later, people infected with the corona virus can experience shortness of breath due to infection in the lungs (pneumonia).

 The cause of this outbreak is a new type of coronavirus called the 2019 coronavirus novel (2019-nCoV).

The Corona virus infection, called COVID-19, first occurred in the city of Wuhan, China and has now been found in more than 100 countries, including Indonesia.
