6 Weaknesses of the Corona Covid-19 Virus that You Need to Know

Kapanlagi.com - Currently, the spread of the corona covid-19 virus has reached a high number, which has made many Indonesians feel afraid and panicked. In fact, the corona covid-19 virus has several weaknesses, KLovers, one of which is its sensitivity to heat.

In addition to being weak against hot air, there are still several weaknesses of the corona covid-19 virus that can provide education for you and reduce the level of anxiety and concern about the corona covid-19 virus.

The weaknesses of the corona covid-19 virus can also serve as prevention for you to reduce the increasing spread. According to various sources, here are 6 weaknesses of the corona covid-19 virus that you need to know.

1. Weakening in Hot Temperature

For this weakness, maybe you already know that the corona virus covid-19 cannot withstand hot temperatures. That's why the government is currently conducting sunbathing activities at 10 am for only 15 to 20 minutes.

Why does this happen? Based on data published by the World Health Organization (WHO), the SARS virus can be killed at a temperature of 56 degrees Celsius. The SARS virus itself has similarities with the corona virus covid-19, that's why we are advised to sunbathe.

When you sunbathe at 10 am, for only 15 to 20 minutes, your body will feel hot and start sweating. This can kill the viruses in our body and is also good for our health, because there is vitamin D in the morning sunlight that is good for bones.

2. Cannot Last Long on the Surface

The fact is that the corona covid-19 virus cannot survive for long outside the human or animal body it has inhabited. The corona covid-19 virus can survive on surfaces when there is something to protect it, such as fluids found in the human body like nasal or oral fluids.

However, when these fluids dry up, the corona covid-19 virus will also disappear. Therefore, both the WHO and the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia do not prohibit the delivery of packages between countries or cities because the risk of transmission through package delivery media is very low.

3. Dry Room Temperature

Because the corona virus cannot survive in hot temperatures, good air circulation and dry room temperature will have very few bacteria and viruses, including the corona covid-19 virus, growing.

On the other hand, if our house is humid and dirty, bacteria and viruses can quickly develop and come in. Therefore, those of us who live in such a house are vulnerable to the corona covid-19 virus.

4. With Soap

Furthermore, the weakness of the corona covid-19 virus is with soap. There have been many movements or challenges to encourage people to wash their hands with soap for 20 seconds. This is done because soap is the most effective material in killing germs, bacteria, and viruses.

Why is soap very effective in killing viruses like corona covid-19? Because the corona virus itself has 3 layers like DNA or RNA which is the core of the virus, then there is protein which is the raw material for the virus to multiply, and finally there is a fat layer as its outer protection.

Therefore, it can be concluded that if the last layer, or the fat layer that protects the corona virus, is damaged or disappears due to soap, then the corona virus will also be destroyed and disappear.

5. Disinfectant

After soap, we can also kill the corona covid-19 virus by using disinfectant liquid, KLovers. We already know that disinfectant liquid is very necessary and we can find it in many places.

Because disinfectant liquid can kill bacteria and viruses that are present on objects around us or on our bodies. Spraying this disinfectant liquid is done so that the virus that lands on an object or clothing will die immediately.

This can happen because the virus will die in just one minute. The disinfectant liquid itself is made of alcohol with a concentration of 60-70%, hydrogen peroxide 0.5%, or sodium hypochlorite 0.1%, so you can clean objects that are difficult to wash with soap such as telephone handles, sofas, work desks, and others using disinfectant liquid.

6. Body Immunity

The last thing that becomes a weakness for the corona covid-19 virus is being inside the body. What is it? It is the body's immunity, every human has their own body immunity.

This body immunity works when there is something foreign or foreign substance entering our body. When that foreign substance enters, the body's immunity will try to destroy the harmful substance to protect ourselves. Therefore, if our body immunity decreases, the immunity will lose and the corona virus can freely take over our body.

To boost our body immunity, we must maintain a healthy diet, get enough rest, and drink plenty of vitamins to support our body's immune system.

Those are the 6 weaknesses of the corona covid-19 virus that you need to know, hopefully the information above can be a source of information for KLovers at home and become a movement to prevent and reduce the spread of the corona virus in Indonesia.
