Covid-19 virus is becoming increasingly violent and new clusters are found that make it sad, because many are hit by Corona in congregation. We must be especially careful if we live near the cluster. Keep wearing a mask and avoid walking near clusters, and always maintain hygiene and immunity, so as not to get Corona.
Cluster is an area where there are many Corona patients. The spread of the covid-19 virus is increasingly fierce, because it can not only be transmitted through droplets, but also through airborne aka dirty, stuffy wives. If there are clusters, we must be aware, especially when the location is near the house and the people interact with the surrounding environment.
The location of this horrendous latest Corona cluster is in Bandung. In a school of prospective officials, there were 1,262 students whose test results were positive. However, there were only 17 people treated at the hospital due to heat and shortness of breath. The rest are isolated inside the school building because they are still relatively healthy.
This new cluster was investigated on June 29 and near the school area was heavily guarded by officers. So outsiders can’t enter.
This guarding is done so that students who are isolated cannot get out of the area. There are searches to find out where students are traveling, so people who contact them can be swab tested too.
If you have a house near the cluster, then don’t be afraid because you have contacted students. Come to the hospital to do a swab test, to find out if you have co-19 virus or not. With this test it will be followed up, when positive can be treated more quickly.
Besides in Bandung, there are also Corona clusters in the sidorejo market in Kendal. After a rapid test, the results were not only Corona positive traders, but also pedicab drivers. This condition is alarming because traders and buyers and people around the market are lazy to wear masks and ignore health protocols.
The market was temporarily closed due to its status as a cluster, and had to be sprayed with disinfectants. The existence of this cluster is certainly detrimental to many other traders, because they are not hit by Corona but bear the consequences. So can not sell and confused how to get money other than trading in the market.
Therefore, in order not to turn into a cluster, other markets must be disciplined in complying with health protocols. Also given free masks so that many people want to wear it without being told to. Rapid test activities are also often done, because in a market prone to mass gathering and they forget the rules of keeping distance.
Another place that is prone to changing into a cluster status is at a wedding at home. According to the rules, it is okay to hold a wedding celebration event, but a maximum of 30 guests, including family. The bride and groom and all guests are also required to wear masks, wear hand sanitizers, and check their body temperature. A maximum of 38 degrees Celsius.
So do not be desperate to hold a large-scale party, let alone held in the building and invite thousands of people. In the midst of a pandemic, Corona is very vulnerable to transmission. Because there is certainly no physical distancing and the air is stuffy, whereas the covid-19 virus can now be transmitted through the air in places that are not circulating well.
When there is a Corona cluster, we must be vigilant, especially when it is close to home. Take the initiative to do a swab test if you have contact with people in the cluster. Don’t make new clusters by breaking the distance guard rules or not wearing cloth masks.
