BBC: How to save your weakening Immune System?

The CoVID-19 epidemic has made people aware of their health. People have realized this very well that it is important to have better immunity for a healthy life. This complex network is the weapon that keeps our body safe from diseases and infections. Like any other part of the body, the immune system also weakens from year to year. Which simply means that the probability of our falling ill increases. The chances of us getting infected increases.

 

कोविड-19 महामारी ने लोगों को उनकी सेहत को लेकर जागरूक करने का काम किया है. लोगों को इस बात का बख़ूबी एहसास कराया है कि स्वस्थ जीवन के लिए रोग-प्रतिरोधक क्षमता का बेहतर होना कितना ज़रूरी है. यह जटिल नेटवर्क ही वो हथियार है जो हमारे शरीर को बीमारियों और संक्रमण से सुरक्षित रखता है. शरीर के किसी भी दूसरे हिस्से की तरह, प्रतिरक्षा प्रणाली भी साल-दर-साल कमज़ोर होती जाती है. जिसका सीधा मतलब ये है कि हमारे बीमार पड़ने की आशंका बढ़ जाती है. हमारे संक्रमित होने की आशंका बढ़ जाती है.

India Govt. says: "It's time to start wearing masks inside homes to prevent Covid-19"

In what can be seen as an admission of a major spread in Covid-19 infection and a note of caution for the people, the government on Monday said the time has now come to wear a mask even at home.

Addressing a press briefing on India's Covid-19 situation, Dr VK Paul, Member (Health), Niti Aayog, said this is the time to be at home, wear a mask and not invite people. He added that people should also avoid stepping out of their home unnecessarily.

"If there is Covid-19 positive case in the family, it is very important that the person wears a mask even indoors because the virus can spread to others in the home. I would rather go on to say that the time has come that we start wearing mask at home even otherwise," Dr VK Paul said.



When sharing common spaces inside a household, people should wear masks, avoid areas with poor ventilation, and wash their hands properly, in view of the more infectious second wave of the coronavirus.
