You’ve most likely heard “COVID-19” discussed nonstop recently. While it’s important to stay up-to-date on recent information, we also want you to know that CarePro Health Services is here for you. Here we will discuss some details about COVID-19 and how we are following all guidelines to keep you safe and protected during this time of uncertainty. 

What is COVID-19?

COVID-19 is a respiratory disease that can cause mild to severe illness, and those at a higher risk for developing more serious complications are older adults and those with severe underlying medical conditions. Symptoms of COVID-19 may appear 2-14 days after exposure. These include, but are not limited to:

• Cough
• Fever
• Shortness of breath
• Bluish lips or face
• New confusion or inability to arouse
• Trouble breathing
• Persistent pain or pressure in the chest

How can you protect yourself and others?

Although there is no current vaccine to prevent COVID-19, there are other precautions you can take to help avoid the disease and prevent the spread to others. Protect yourself by washing your hands often, keeping your hands away from your face and stay home whenever possible to promote social distancing. 

How can you boost your immune system?

There are many ways to boost your immune system during this time. Keep in mind that no supplement or practice will cure or prevent disease, and there aren't any research-supported supplements to protect against COVID-19 specifically. Implement these basic practices into your life to help boost your immune system:

• Limit stress
• Eat a healthy and balanced diet
• Stay active
• Get enough quality sleep
• Take immune-system supplements: Elderberry, Vitamin C, Vitamin D & Zinc
