What Is Covid-19?

I am a student of English Letters Department at Universitas Ma Chung (https://machung.ac.id) and this is my work. The whole world is being tested this time. A new type of virus emerged suddenly in China in the late 2019. The unknown case of  pneumonia  in Wuhan was reported to WHO, World Health Organization, in 31 December 2019. It is a very different disease from SARS or MERS. At that time, what cause the disease was still unknown.

Until in early January, China government found what might be the cause of this phenomenon. The new virus, Covid-19, might be from a Wuhan traditional market, Wuhan South China Seafood Wholesale Market, which sell various kind of animals for being consumed. The traditional market closed by the local government is 1st January 2020.

Covid-19 is a zoonosis disease, animals transmit to human. Because animals transmit to human it means that this virus also spread from human to human. It can be passed through droplets of coughs and sneezes. This virus also can survive on non-living thins, but it only last for some time, depending on what the material is.

The incubation time for Covid-19 is quite long, 14 days. The symptoms of Covid-19 may include cough, fever, and shortness of breath. In rare cases, Covid-19 can lead to severe respiratory problems, kidney failure and death.
