The ninth edition of the Vodafone flagship health initiative, Vodafone Healthline kicked off with education on COVID-19. The newly packaged and improved Vodafone Healthline dedicated its first episode to the global pandemic by discussing in detail its prevention, symptoms, and treatment.
Speaking on the subject, Dr. Joseph Oliver-Commey, Infectious Disease Specialist Member said the virus had no cure yet, however, a good immune system can be helpful.
“It is important to know that a strong immune system does not entirely prevent you from contracting COVID-19, but it strengthens the body to mount a defense.
Initially, we had only people with underlining conditions die from the virus but this time around, people without conditions such as heart diseases and kidney issues are also dying. Again, almost 70% of those who contract the virus are now younger people. Children can be carriers of the virus. The virus continues to manifest in different forms; however, it is good that we are getting to know the virus better.’’
