Epidemi is another term for an outbreak. Talking about the coronavirus will not be far from the term epidemi or outbreak. Because of its rapid spread with new cases occurring in humans and affecting anyone, the coronavirus enters into an epidemic or outbreak with highly contagious transmission.
Epidemi itself is taken from the Greek language, namely Epi (on) and Demi (people). Epidemiology is classified into various types based on the origin of the disease and its various modes of transmission.
Epidemics can involve single exposures, repeated exposures, or continuous exposures to the causes of the disease. The disease can be spread through biological factors, from person to person, or from the same source such as contaminated water.

This time at the highest level, after an epidemic occurs, it will escalate to a pandemic. The coronavirus COVID-19 has reached the level of a pandemic, which is a large-scale attack on a very wide area.
A pandemic itself is at the highest level of an outbreak. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a pandemic is said to occur when the following three conditions are met.
The first is the emergence of the disease in question as a new disease in a population. The second is that the agent causing the disease infects humans and causes serious illness. The last is that the agent causing the disease spreads easily and sustainably among humans.
From the above explanation, it can be concluded that the coronavirus COVID-19 has met these three conditions.
The coronavirus is a new disease that has occurred in humans. Both coronaviruses are infected through animals and transmitted to humans and transmitted from human to human, causing many deaths.
Finally, the coronavirus spreads very quickly, as can be seen from its spread worldwide in a very short period of time. However, not all diseases or conditions can be considered a pandemic just because they cause many deaths. For example, diseases like cancer, although they cause many deaths, do not fall into the category of a pandemic.

IgG and IgM are antibodies that form in our body when we are infected with a virus. And if you are infected, IgG and IgM will increase in number. But the rapid test is not very accurate in determining whether we are infected with the corona virus or not. You have to undergo a series of tests again, such as a swab test.
