+ Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
+ Wash your hands anytime you touch any surface that has not been disinfected (papers, doors, rails, etc.).
+ Gargle with a solution/mixture of lukewarm water, lemon juice, and salt every day to minimize the risk of infections.
+ Take supplements of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and Zinc to boost your immunity. You may also intake garlic, ginger, nigella or other herbs, to improve your overall health condition.
