Transmission dynamics of novel Coronavirus–SARS-CoV-2 in South Sumatera, Indonesia

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 has shaken the world by extremely raising death tolls, illnesses, and economic losses. The virus is transmitted by humans to other humans, spreading to more than 200 countries. This research aims to analyze the transmission dynamics of novel Coronavirus-SARS-CoV-2 in South Sumatera Indonesia. This is epidemiologic research, and the research population is all SARS-CoV-2 patients and those who have close contact with the patients in all districts/cities in South Sumatera. It has been widely known that those that have made contact with patients confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2 has a risk of getting infected by SARS-CoV-2 by 3.591 higher than those who never have (OR = 3.591, 95% CI: 2.933–4.396). Also, according to the findings, those who have a contact history to patients confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2 have a risk of getting infected by SARS-CoV-2 by 2.387 higher than those who never have (OR = 2.387, 95% CI: 1.362–4.184). Meanwhile, those who have no idea for having made contact with patients confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2 has a risk of getting infected by SARS-CoV-2 by 1.082 higher than those who have never a contact history to the SARS-CoV-2 patients (OR = 1.082, 95% CI: 0.622–1.882). To prevent broader transmission, those who have made contact with the SARS-CoV-2 patients need to be quarantined. The findings help us give community health interventions to globally fight this transmittable disease.

Associations Between Clinical Manifestations and the Final Status COVID-19 Sufferer in Palembang, Indonesia

“…This incubation period depends on a person's age and immunity, especially in the elderly and pre-elderly as a vulnerable group with low immunity. [16][17][18][19] Clinical manifestations that occur have a classification of levels. Mild clinical manifestations, such as fever, cough, and runny nose, are often found.…”

“…The findings is similar with COVID-19 date from the Province of South Sumatra, including data local travel history, confirmed contact history, suspect contact history, and data closest contacts did not have and did not have contact. 16 Wahyuni The bivariate analysis showed a significant associations between clinical manifestations and final status in the elderly and the elderly (≥ 50 years). They would increase the risk factor by 3.208, and the researchers believe that a 95% CI of severe clinical manifestations in the population will increase the risk by 1.764 to 5.833, compared to mild clinical manifestations.…”

Effectiveness of Physical Therapy Services Through Telemedicine During the Covid-19 Pandemic: Systematic Review

“…The rate of spread of infection indicates that transmission occurs from human to human (Sitorus et al, 2021).
