Coronaviruses
are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold
to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome. A novel coronavirus is a new strain that has not
been previously identified in humans. Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they
are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed investigations found
that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from
dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in
animals that have not yet infected humans. This virus is very dangerous for the
health of the body and threatens human safety. This is what causes a lot of
chaos, not only in some countries but throughout the world. There are all
economic activities hampered, the education system was drastically changed, and
all human activities were restricted.
First
of all, all economic activities are hampered. Starting from the closed shopping
area, of course this will hamper the economy because there is no income earned
by every citizen and of course this also has an impact on the state budget. Jakarta,
CNN Indonesia 3/24/2020, Some shopping centers in Indonesia are closed, all
operational activities are stopped, especially in Jakarta, to prevent the
spread of the corona virus. Bisnis.com 4/28/2020,
JAKARTA As a result of the corona outbreak and the implementation of social
distancing and large-scale social restrictions, 197 malls in Indonesia were
closed. Stefanus Ridwan as Chair of the Indonesian Shopping Center Management
Association stated that this was done to comply with government policies in
preventing the spread of the corona virus.
Then, most companies that implement a work from home system for all their
employees will certainly reduce the company's income because the work done
cannot be maximized. JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com 3/19/2020, Companies in Indonesia are
asked to impose social distancing on all employees to anticipate the spread of
the corona virus. Vice president Ma'ruf Amin reminded the company to pay
attention to the call from the government to implement social distancing. From these data we can see how
obstructed economic activity is in our country.
In
fact, corona virus is also very influential on our education where the
education system is changed drastically. Education that is usually done through
face-to-face is now done through networks. Lessons that are usually explained
in classrooms are now explained through online classes. Jakarta detikNews 4/8/2020, This corona virus outbreak forced
Minister Nadiem Makarim to issue a new policy in the world of education. Nadiem
Makarim applies the method of learning from home. While the school is closed
due to the corona pandemic, all teaching and learning activities are carried
out over long distances. Teachers teach from their homes and students learn
from their homes. Learning can be done using independent learning models,
online learning, ICT-assisted learning, or other forms. Not only that, even the final exam for all schools was abolished
to anticipate the prevention of corona virus transmission. KOMPAS.com 3/24/2020,
The national exam has been officially canceled by the Indonesian government starting
from elementary school, junior high school and high school levels. This is done
as a limitation of social distance in order to stop the spread of the corona
virus. This decision is also part of the corona virus response system, one of
which is to prioritize people's safety and health. Of course this is confusing for most teachers and parents
especially students who are starting to be overwhelmed by learning methods like
this.
Finally,
this corona virus causes all community activities to be limited. Work
activities, study activities, trips, worship activities and other activities
are all carried out very differently than usual all must follow the limits set
by the government. Kompas.com 4/1/2020, Large-scale social restrictions were
finally imposed by the government to respond to the corona virus that was
spreading faster. President Joko Widodo said that the government regulations
governing this policy had been issued together with the Presidential Decree on
the Establishment of the Covid-19 Public Health Emergency. The public is forbidden to travel during Corona, so all travel
destinations outside the city are stopped. JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com 4/9/2020, To prevent the wider spread of the corona
virus, the government appealed for the entire community not to travel from its
original place of residence until Indonesia was declared clean of the corona
virus.
In conclusion, Corona
virus not only kills humans but it is also able to stop the world. So we must
be very vigilant and work together to prevent its spread until the corona virus
is completely gone.
