Hello Umi Islah, Thank you for the question.
Corona virus is indeed becoming a pandemic / epidemic throughout the world. Knowledge about this virus is still growing. A person can experience symptoms 2-14 days after exposure to this virus. Symptoms that appear in corona virus infection resemble flu symptoms but the three most common symptoms are cough, fever, and shortness of breath. A person can be suspected of being infected with the corona virus if they experience these symptoms and have a history of having a corona virus case or contact / interaction with other people who are suspected or have been confirmed to have a corona virus infection in the last 2 weeks. If you don't have a mild respiratory tract and don't have any of the history above in the last 2 weeks, then your risk of having a small corona virus infection. Cold symptoms that you experience can be caused by colds or colds (caused by rhinovirus). If you experience mild symptoms, in the meantime you can do independent treatment at home and do not need to see a doctor. Try to follow the following recommendations:
multiply the consumption of nutritious food and multiply the consumption of water enough to rest you every day for 7-9 hours avoid exposure to dust and other air pollution including exposure to allergic triggers if there is always maintain the cleanliness of your hands by washing with soap and clean water or using a hand sanitizer with alcohol content of at least 60% avoid touching the face before washing hands limit contact or interaction with others limit activities outside the home, you should not go outdoors if you do not insist on covering your mouth and nose with a tissue or the inside of your arm if you cough and sneeze you are new it is recommended to check yourself to the nearest hospital if you later develop symptoms of high fever (38 C or more), cough, and shortness of breath.
Hopefully this information helps you.
