New Normal Life and Self-care Techniques to Strengthen Immunity During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Thailand is facing a new wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in entertainment venues. Most of them have been caused by the British corona virus (B 1.1.7) variant, which has mutated from the original virus. It is more contagious than the original virus, spreading more easily and more virulent than the original virus. Consequently, the resulting morbidity and mortality rates are higher and constantly increasing. Although strict control measures have been implemented to control the outbreak, the situation has not yet contained. The outbreak has had direct impacts on the personal health and ways of life of the Thai people, as well as on the country's economic conditions. There is currently no specific drug able to cure the disease, and most of Thais are not yet vaccinated against COVID-19. Therefore, they are at risk of infection at any time. People need to adapt to the situation and be able to maintain their health and immunity. They also need to learn to live new lifestyles, which allow them to function normally while maintaining strict compliance with control measures. Techniques for maintaining good health and being immunized to COVID-19 include consuming a healthy diet, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, managing stress, and avoiding smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages. Practicing these measures will help people to remain safe from becoming infected with COVID-19 and to be able to live happy life.
