the reason that this new coronavirus is spreading so rapidly and having such a significant impact on people around the world is that we lack immunity to it. Our immune systems have never seen it before.

The more actions we take to keep ourselves generally healthy, the better.

Good hand hygiene and social distancing can help prevent catching the virus. Doing what you can to reduce specific risk factors may help your body recover quickly if you do become exposed.

Even if you don’t become exposed, your overall health may benefit from the following:


Eating a nutritious diet that minimizes high blood sugar
Prioritizing restful sleep
Managing your stress
Stopping smoking
Participating in moderate exercise that you enjoy
Getting sunshine and fresh air where possible
