Some highlights form the session:
1. Perform a PCR Swab test as soon as possible even for mild symptoms of cough/body aches/ temperature fever. Do not wait.
2. Perform a blood test if the PCR Swab remains negative but “mild” symptoms persist.
How to deal with the disease?
1. Most important:
Keep Calm, fend off any anxiety, think positive and think about the people who love you.
2. Follow the doctor’s advice, including the administration of any medication.
3. Try to eat normal and healthy food, even if experiencing anosmia ( loosing ability to smell ) and / or Ageusia ( loosing ability to taste).
4. Try to get enough sleep (having anxiety will prevent this, so managing anxiety and staying calm is important). Practice Proning – Sleeping on your stomach with your head elevated.
5. Practising breathing exercise.
