The Role of Students in Responding to the Transparency of COVID 19 Data in Media

Abstract

COVID 19 is a contagious disease caused by a newly discovered type of coronavirus that has become a pandemic. The new virus and the disease it causes were not known before the outbreak in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The virus which was later named Covid 19 spread throughout the world. Until now, the virus, which was originally transmitted from wild animals to humans, has infected millions of people in as many as 60 countries. Several types of coronavirus are known to cause respiratory infections in humans ranging from colds to more serious coughs such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Therefore, one of the treatment of health problems in preventing the transmission of Covid 19 is the principle of data transparency and the importance of students' role in responding to data transparency for the development and promotion of health communication in the society. Therefore, the role of students in responding to data transparency in the media can increase public awareness in dealing with the outbreak caused by the corona virus so that people can be more preventive and can be motivated to be able to increase alertness and body resilience.
