The Ministry of Health’s notification to the public on the Coronavirus influenza must be taken very seriously. Prevention method is to keep your throat moist, do not let your throat dry up. Thus do not hold your thirst because once your membrane in your throat is dried, the virus will invade into your body within 10 mins. Drink 50-80cc warm water, 30-50cc for kids, according to age. Everytime you feel your throat is dry, do not wait, keep water in hand. Do not drink plenty at one time as it doesn’t help, instead continue to keep your throat moist.
Avoid crowded places, wear a mask as needed especially when using the train or public transportation. Avoid fried or spicy food and load up with vitamin C.
