Alert, Coronavirus Started Spreading
Starting in 2020, the world was shocked by the discovery of new diseases originating from Wuhan, China, and began to spread to neighboring countries. The spread of the coronavirus is growing rapidly and makes the World Health Organization (WHO) appeal to Asian countries, including Indonesia, to always be vigilant.
This disease is caused by a new type of coronavirus called the 2019-nCoV virus. According to the latest data obtained by WHO, this disease has caused casualties, while dozens of others infected are still under surveillance and intensive care.

Here are some facts related to this new disease:
- The 2019-nCoV virus was identified on January 7, 2020, about a week after the first case appeared in the city of Wuhan, China.
- The 2019-nCoV virus belongs to the same virus group as the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle-East respiratory syndrome (MERS).
- Some Thais and Japanese are reported to have been infected with the 2019-nCoV virus.
- The exact origin and method of transmission of the 2019-nCoV virus are unknown. However, this virus is thought to originate from animals and can be transmitted between humans.
- No method or drug has been found as a specific management program to deal with this condition.
Responding to the situation, the Government urges the airport and the port to carry out a body temperature scan on each passenger, especially for those who come from affected countries.
Coronavirus attacks the human respiratory tract. Therefore, people who are infected with Coronavirus can experience symptoms that are similar to the flu. Even so, the initial symptoms of this mysterious disease are similar to SARS and MERS, namely fever and coughing. Some sufferers also reported experiencing shortness of breath, accompanied by the formation of fluids and infiltrate in the lungs.
In some cases, patients even experience liver failure and kidney failure. Even so, to date, no specific symptoms have been found that can be used as a reference to identify this disease.
SARS and MERS are both conditions characterized by serious infections of the respiratory tract. Both of these diseases have spread throughout the world and cause tremendous fear.
In 2002-2003, there were at least 774 people who died from SARS. While WHO records in 2019, stated that more than 800 people died due to suffering from MERS.
Although caused by viruses of the same class, the 2019-nCoV virus infection is not expected to spread and cause death as quickly as SARS and MERS.
