    hi James. I am assuming you have not been tested for the virus? Are you just wondering how to help prevent from getting it? Ways in which you can lower your risk of getting it would be similar to the things you would do to avoid getting the flu.

    yes this is a stronger virus than the common flu but the number one ways to help prevent getting sick is frequent handwashing and staying away from others. ! You get this virus and any other virus like the flu from your hands touching your face because the virus will enter through your nose or mouth.

    it’s best to stay home during this time but if you absolutely cannot, it’s important to keep safe distance from other people, wear a mask.

    I cannot stress frequent handwashing enough! and using soap and water use good friction or rubbing when you are washing your hands because that is what will deactivate the virus. Do this for at least 20 seconds.

    its good to clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces like door knobs, light switches, countertops, etc.

    If you ever develop any symptoms you are concerned about, call your doctor for further instructions. and of course calling 911 for severe symptoms but I don’t anticipate that if you are young and healthy.

    . Keep in mind that the majority of people, especially young healthy people, have mild symptoms and recover well.

    Keep up your immune system by eating very healthy. vegetables, fruits, staying hydrated will help you fight off all kinds of viruses. if you can get some exercise at home that helps too.

    So it’s basically handwashing, social distancing, healthy eating, disinfecting , avoid touching your face, stay home as much as possible for now, you’ll be OK and it really is basically just good common sense. we are here for you. Take care!

    Do you think you have the virus ? If you do or if you are trying to prevent it , it's the same diligent hygiene.

    some vitamins you can take if you have it ( and also to boost immune system to prevent getting it) are vitamin C, vitamin D , zinc . tumeric , garlic, ginger.

    also inhaling steam may help . you could add some essential oils like eucalyptus but it is up to you.
