Corona is once again emerging as a serious health problem across the country. For the past few weeks, there has been a surge in Covid-19 cases due to the new JN.1 variant. In the last 24 hours, 702 new cases of infection were registered in the country, six people also died due to coronavirus. Goa, Karnataka, and Kerala are among the most affected states.
Health experts say the cases of serious disease among those infected with the new variant are less, but the infectivity rate of this variant is said to be higher, due to which there may be a risk of spread of infection to more people in a short time.
At present, if we look at the infection situation in the country, it is known that on average 500-600 cases have been reported daily for the last 10 days. Health experts are concerned that there may be an increase in infections during the New Year holidays, which is why everyone needs to remain cautious.
What do health experts say?
Health experts say that even though the risk of serious diseases in case of coronavirus infection has reduced due to widespread vaccination, the increasing infectiousness is still a matter of concern. When people gather during New Year holidays and celebrations, there may be a possibility of infection increasing there. In such a situation, all people need to continue taking precautions to prevent corona.
To prevent this infectious disease, it is most important to keep two things in mind.
1. Must wear a mask
Doctors say, to reduce the speed of infection and stop its spread, we all must start wearing masks once again. Wearing a mask may be the most effective way to prevent the virus from spreading in a population. Even if you have been vaccinated, wearing a mask is required for everyone.
Whenever you go to crowded places, wear a mask and maintain social distancing as a precautionary measure. This could be a way to keep you and your family safe from the threat of corona.
Focus on increasing immunity
It has been seen in the reports so far that the risk of developing serious diseases due to infection is seen to be higher in those people who are already suffering from comorbidities or whose immunity is weak. This means that it is very important to take immunity-boosting measures to prevent the severity of Covid-19. Including nutritious food in the diet, consuming herbal teas and regular exercise habits can help strengthen immunity.
Role of Ayurveda in Increasing Immunity
According to the Indian Government website mygov.in, Ayurveda can play a special role in increasing immunity. India's traditional medical system, Ayurveda, has enormous potential in preventive and curative health care. During the Covid pandemic, Ayurvedic measures are of special benefit in increasing immunity and dealing with the disease.
The body's immunity cannot be increased overnight. Daily nutritious diet and good daily routine contribute to building immunity. Increase the intake of herbs and spices in the diet, and consume decoctions, this can be beneficial.
