We are, sadly, in the midst of another COVID-19 surge, ostensibly due to the highly contagious Omicron variant entering the country to end 2021. Already, cases have risen from 100–300 daily last December to over 3,000 most days this January. This dire development has prompted the government to shift Metro Manila and nearby provinces from the more lenient Alert Level 1 back to more stringent Alert Level 3—and, potentially, to the strictest Alert Level 5 if infections continue rising exponentially.
This only means one thing: Our movement will once again be limited, with minors and the unvaccinated now barred from going out unless absolutely necessary and the greater majority encouraged to just stay at home where possible. And if we all want to finally beat COVID, like we seem to be doing just a month ago, it would be best to follow stay-at-home recommendations as much as possible and keep observing safety protocols, like proper wearing of facemask, constant handwashing, avoiding large crowds, and putting off parties and gatherings for another time.
Actually, we ought to be proactive in doing these things even without the government telling us to do so. While we’re at it, we’ll need to do the following to keep ourselves in the pink of health and more than able to fight off any virus:
- Eat the right kind of food for better overall health
- Exercise regularly to enhance cardiovascular functions
- Take vitamins and supplements for additional immunity
- Get enough sleep for proper and adequate cell repair
- Consistent self-care, including meditation, skin-care regimens, and taking up a hobby
- Constant sanitation and washing of hands
These are the things we should all be doing if we want to be a COVID-free country, or at least close to COVID-free so that we can either get back a sense of normalcy or enter a safer new normal. With that being said, rest assured that MyPharma, your kapitbahay pharmacy, is here to help you out in any way possible.
