TRIBUNNEWSMAKER.COM – Epidemiologist Griffith University Australia Dicky Budiman said that the symptoms of the corona virus (Covid-19) are similar to influenza, making the number of those infected with this virus increasing.
This is because they don’t realize symptoms such as muscle aches to chills also have the potential to show symptoms Covid-19.
“That’s why this is why Covid is dangerous, in the sense that people are not aware, don’t realize, because who has never had muscle pain, aches, if we want to catch the flu, that’s the same way,” said Dicky, to Tribunnews, Friday ( 12/2/2021).
Disease influenza in various countries in general have symptoms the same, but because symptoms Covid-19 This is similar to influenza, so many people are not aware that they might be infected Covid-19.
“Nah symptoms“This symptom is common for the public, not only in Indonesia, in various countries they have the flu like that,” explained Dicky.
The symptoms caused by this virus certainly do not show physical signs such as smallpox or dengue fever.
So that the general public will consider the symptoms experienced when they start to be infected with Covid-19, because they think they only have regular influenza.
But people can start to realize if symptoms what they feel shows the level is quite heavy, namely breathing problems.

Therefore, to reduce the number of those infected Covid-19, said Dicky, the 5M health protocol needs to be done in a disciplined manner by each individual.
