Meanwhile, when it is on an inanimate object, this virus can only remain dormant and wait for another organism to become a new host or it will die on its own.

2. Including a Fragile Type of Virus

Although it can spread rapidly and reproduce in large numbers, it turns out that the coronavirus covid-19 is also a type of virus with a fragile body structure.

Therefore, the spread of this virus can be prevented by simply washing hands regularly and spraying disinfectant on potentially contaminated objects.

3. Can Survive for a Certain Period of Time

The corona virus covid-19 can adhere to and survive on the surface of objects through droplets or saliva or other body fluids from patients. This virus can adhere to various types of surfaces. However, this virus has different durability depending on the type of surface.

For example, on the surface of cardboard or paper, the corona virus covid-19 can survive for up to 24 hours. Meanwhile, on plastic and steel surfaces, this virus can survive for 2-3 days.

Not without reason why social distancing is chosen as one way to prevent the spread of the corona covid-19 virus. Because this virus can spread to people who are physically close to corona covid-19 patients.

Quoted from merdeka.com, Prof. Dr. Amin Soebandrio, an expert on the Eijkman Institute virus, said that this virus can be thrown up to 2 meters when a patient sneezes. That is why, to practice social distancing, the recommended distance is more than 2 meters.

8. Can Multiply Rapidly

The corona covid-19 virus can multiply rapidly in the human body. That is why this virus, which originated from Wuhan, China, can be so deadly for the sufferers.

Quoted from liputan6.com, the corona covid-19 virus can multiply up to 10,000 in a matter of hours. In the body of an infected person, the multiplied viruses will spread quickly. In fact, it can reach hundreds of millions of viruses in a teaspoon of blood.

9. Living in the Respiratory Tract
