Health practitioners ask the public not to panic in the face of the spread of the Corona Virus. Based on information from the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI), the possibility of healing suspect Covid-19 is high, which is up to 97 percent.
The fear and anxiety that pervades Indonesian society is now slightly reduced. The reason is an official appeal that states if the suspect Corona’s cure rate is very high. In fact, it reaches 97 percent. Although there are many reports of deaths, the facts say that the possibility of recovery is also high.
The virus that originated from Wuhan City, China had a chance to create a global uproar including Indonesia. Various efforts and ways were made to deal with the plague. In the public sector, travel bans are imposed, export-import restrictions to increase the preparedness of medical officers at a number of points.
The Indonesian government has also issued an appeal to dismiss schools, offices and public access. They were asked to “stay home” to reduce the potential spread of the Corona virus. Mentioned from various sources, self-quarantine is expected to be able to reduce the potential for transmission without direct contact with, groups of people or in the crowd. This independent quarantine is also considered to be more effective, because although it does not become a contagion agent. Isolating themselves independently is now preferred because it is easier to do.
Previously, Chinese authorities announced that many Corona suspects had recovered and closed two special hospitals handling Covid-19. Reportedly, if a patient has been exposed to it and then recovered, the chances of contracting it again are almost zero percent. They even celebrated the happiness of the Corona patients in China dramatically. Although it has been widely reported if China already has a vaccine, but officially they have not clarified.
Likewise, this happiness was also felt by Indonesia following the appeal of Loekmono Hadi as Director of the Holy Hospital was issued. He said that residents do not need to panic over the spread of the Corona virus. Beware must do but overdo it, don’t!
He added that the Corona virus has a higher cure rate that can reach 98 percent. When compared to the H5N1 virus outbreak or bird flu. While the percentage of deaths is only the rest, which is 2 percent. This news is also getting stronger when from the land of sakura they also apply social distancing without having to kill the economy. Like, queuing with a minimum distance of 1 meter, then eat at a shop or restaurant also with a table chair lined with the specified distance. In fact, in the elevator-also given a kind of “sign” or a sign so that the people are not close together.
Hadi added the case of death victims that occurred was also dominated because many patients also had a history of other diseases. Not dismiss if this virus can be transmitted but not through the air, but through droplets from sneezing or coughing or commonly called droplets. In addition he mentioned, if the patient being treated in the isolation room was not suspect Corona, but PDP (Patient Under Supervision).
In line with Loekmono Hadi’s statement, Head of the Kudus District Health Office, Joko Dwi Putranto stated that people need to maintain a clean lifestyle by washing their hands regularly and correctly. Because, today many who wash their hands only carelessly. Even though washing hands properly with soap, will reduce the growth rate of bacteria and viruses. Including the spread of Covid-19.
Based on these facts, then the hand-washing demo with soap is properly promoted. Or appeal to do social distancing if forced to be outside the room or public place. Maintain room hygiene, for example using a hand sanitizer, washing surfaces such as tables that might possibly transmit the virus.
The virus that targets the immune system is said to attack individuals with poor health. So, if you feel healthy can be quite calm, the article is likely to be exposed very little. However, being healthy does not mean you cannot transmit it, you know! We still have the potential to infect others if we are not careful.
Well, the point of standalone lockdown is for purposes like this. Indeed, it looks so boring, stay at home. But for the common good, let’s be passionate about it. Hopefully the news if the recovery of suspect corona is higher will make the Corona pandemic soon pass. Take care of your health and increase immunity to prevent potential exposure!
