We have learned a lot of things about COVID-19 when more data has come up about the virus. As we fight the pandemic, information has become one of our most potent weapons against the rapid spread of the disease. 

COVID-19 primarily assaults the respiratory system, among others. It creates significant issues to underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Immunocompromised individuals, in particular, are at high risk because their immune systems are unable to fight the virus on their own.

We saw how wrongful information had been one of the strong arms of the pandemic. Accurate and widespread information dissemination is key to our success in fighting off its sting.

Here is an essential guide on COVID-19 cleanup and disinfection that you should know:

1. Preparing for COVID-19

First off, proper hand-washing and sanitization are critical to avoiding infection. Physical or social separation, covering coughs and sneezes, and keeping unwashed hands away from the face are some of the ways to avoid getting sick. Remember to use face masks in public places to keep people from getting the virus.

In addition, regularly cleaning up and disinfecting your home or workspace is advisable to avoid the build-up of germs. If possible, get a professional cleaning service to deep clean and sanitize your space for greater peace of mind.

2. Foods that Fight COVID-19

Along with drinking plenty of water and fluids, you also need to eat a healthy diet and include immunity-boosting food such as the following: 

• Garlic: It is one of the best natural antibiotics for a wide range of viruses and bacteria, and it works well. People who eat garlic and its products every day as add-on therapy may use less of the main therapeutic drugs while still getting the same benefits.

• Aloe Vera: It is known for its antimicrobial properties against viruses and bacteria and contributes to a healthy heart and lower cholesterol. It is convenient to use as there are a lot of aloe products that are ready to drink. 

• Ginger Tea and Turmeric: They fight off colds, the flu, and other viruses. These have anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and immune-boosting benefits that can be an excellent alternative therapeutic agent for COVID-19 treatment and other viruses.

• Raw Honey: It has been shown to fight off viruses and prevent acute inflammation by boosting the immune system’s response to it

Please remember that this is a virus, and your best prevention method is to stay home and out of contact with others. If you need to seek medical help, do so right away.

3. Preventing The Spread of the Disease

Although quarantine and social distancing are two polarizing solutions for COVID-19 prevention, they effectively lower the infection rate of the virus. 

If you or someone you know has been infected, you must report it to your local hospital or health center. Once there, you will be given the best care available, but you must follow through with the treatment. If you do not, the virus will spread even more.
