Jakarta: Reducing transmission is said to reduce the potential for mutation of the Covid-19 virus. Although, mutation viruses are natural.
“The trick is to prevent massive mutations by avoiding transmission,” said the Head of the Task Force’s Behavioral Change Division (Task Force) Handling Covid-19, Sonny Harry Harmadi, in a virtual discussion, Saturday, May 22, 2021.
 
Sonny called mutations virus corona occurs in infected people. When a virus infects a person, there is the potential for the virus to misrepresent, causing mutations.
“The most important thing is in the context of behavior change. “For any virus mutation, the prevention strategy is the same,” he explained.

Sonny reminded that the transmission of the dangerous virus originates from droplets or aerosols. How to prevent this by wearing a mask.
In addition, maintaining a distance is also effective in preventing someone from being splashed by droplets. This is because droplets and aerosols can be ejected up to two meters when talking or coughing.
“That’s why the recommended distance of two meters between people, especially if he wears a mask, has reduced (the risk),” said Sonny.
