As vaccine for this novel pandemic is yet to be discovered while the corona virus outbreak is spreading throughout the world so it's significant to beware and be aware of the right information about the every aspect of this highly contagious viral infection. We are all quite familiar with the matter that ever since the first report of this outbreak was published, quackery is even beating the virus itself in it's transmission rate. Somehow a lot of misinformation regarding the remedies of this infection is being disseminated by a large number of people surfing on the social media from the time even when virus didn't cross the borders. This column aims to debunk the myths and support the truth especially regarding the intake of food.
There is no doubt that food contains many biologically active compounds which on the long run can definitely affect the mechanisms of our body but these processes are too slow as a curative measure for this rapidly spreading Covid-19 which requires a proper medical assistance. However, for contemplating the preventive measures under the current scenario the key to prevent this infection is ensuring the proper hygiene and boosting the immune system. Instead of wearing the mask and gloves the best personal hygienic measures include avoid handshakes, avoid touching your face, avoid gatherings, staying at home and wash hands more frequently. Because if you're touching your face with your gloves and are not following the aforementioned hygienic measures then wearing mask doesn't make any difference and you are equally prone to the infectious agent as someone else who is not wearing sanitary attire.
