Liputan6.com, Jakarta – It’s been almost three years since the Corona virus Covid-19 inhabit several countries in the world, including Indonesia. In fact, now more and more mutated after entering the human body.
After the Delta wave that had shaken the world, now the virus variant has mutated again as Omicronwhere the spread is quite fast with relatively mild symptoms.
These variants of Covid-19 have claimed a large number of victims around the world, although many have also recovered due to vaccinations to prevent Covid-19.
However, some people who have been infected with Covid-19 still feel shortness of breath, cough, and get tired easily. This is what is known as Long Covid-19.
“Usually, people infected with Covid-19 recover in about 10 to 14 days. But it turns out that there are 10 to 20% of those who for up to two months, three months, even six months still feel shortness of breath, cough, and other symptoms,” the vaccinologist EMC, dr. Dirga Sakti Rambe, explained in the Liputan6.com Virtual Class Fact Check program with the theme “Omicron is Terrific, Breaks Body Defenses”, some time ago.
However, dr. Dirga also explained that people suffering from Long Covid-19 are no longer infectious.
According to dr. Director General, Long Covid-19 occurs when the reaction to the symptoms of Covid varies and lasts for quite a long time. Although Long Covid is not dangerous, it can reduce a person’s quality of life.

One that can reduce the risk of Long Covid according to dr. Dirga is vaccination, with a reduced risk of up to 49%. Especially after doing a booster or the third dose, the chance of avoiding it reaches 90-95%.
Not only the term Long Covid, now there is another term for the stealth Omicron in which this Omicron is part of the sub-Omicron. Omicron stealth is another name for BA2 where it is assumed that the severity is the same as Delta and spread is the same as Omicron.
“This Omicron variant has children of variants or sub variants, there is BA1, there is BA2. Well, what is called stealth is BA2,” said dr. Director General. “But right now what is circulating more widely is the BA1 that we are experiencing. It is suspected that the speed is the same as the current Omicron (BA1) but the severity is the same as the delta.”dr. Dirga also reminded people not to think that Omicron is a variant with mild symptoms. Because, this variant is also very dangerous for those who are vulnerable, such as the elderly, children and sufferers who have comorbidities.
“If we take it lightly, it tends to cause inadvertence. Maybe you are young, there are no comorbidities, it’s true that the symptoms are very mild, such as coughing and colds. But don’t forget that even if you don’t have symptoms, you can still transmit it. vulnerable, namely one with the elderly, two sufferers comorbidthree have not been vaccinated, they could die,” he asserted.
