FACT
Head of the Covid-19 Task Force of the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) Zubairi Djoerban emphasized that Florona was not one of the mutations of the new variant of COVID-19 but was a phenomenon of double infection caused by two different viruses.
“Regarding this Florona, it’s actually not a new variant. But there is a double infection, meaning that there are two types of viruses that infect a person (simultaneously),” said Zubairi.
Responding to the presence of pregnant women in Israel who were infected with the two viruses at the same time, Zubairi said, this was due to the condition of the body’s weak immune system.
That is, cases like this are rare. However, it is still possible to infect someone at the same time, because both viruses are equally transmitted through the air or droplets and attack the respiratory tract.
Despite having similarities in the mode of transmission, both COVID-19 and influenza have different causes. So the drugs or vaccines given to patients are given differently.
“There is no need to worry because influenza is very, very rarely found in Indonesia, especially when it causes death. Influenza should not be mistaken for the flu of Indonesians,” said Zubairi.
CONCLUSION
Information regarding the new COVID-19 variant named Florona is either incorrect or in the wrong context. (Asp)
