Walk. Even in small spaces, walking around or walking on the spot, can help you remain active. If you have a call, stand or walk around your home while you speak, instead of sitting down.

Q. Is COVID-19 similar to SARS?
The novel coronavirus detected in China in 2019 is closely related genetically to the SARS-CoV-1 virus. SARS emerged in late 2002 in China and caused more than 8 000 cases in 33 countries over the course of eight months. Around one in 10 people who developed SARS died.
Covid-19 variant delta, first identified in India, is becoming the dominant variant of the disease worldwide, the WHO’s chief scientist said Friday. That’s because of its “significantly increased transmissibility,” Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, the WHO’s chief scientist, said during a news conference.
Q. Can fans be used safely inside during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Air blowing from an infected person directly at another person in a closed space increases the risk of the virus spreading from one person to another.If COVID-19 is circulating in your community and the use of a table or pedestal fan is unavoidable, it is important to regularly bring in air from outside by opening windows or doors, while minimizing how much air blows from one person (or group of people) to another person (or group of people).
Q. Should teens get a COVID-19 vaccine?
Dr. Lee Savio Beers, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, encourages parents to get the vaccine for their adolescents as soon as they are eligible. Infected children, even those without symptoms, can still spread the virus to vulnerable people at home and elsewhere.
Q. How does COVID-19 affect patients with tuberculosis?
While experience on COVID-19 infection in TB patients remains limited, it is anticipated that people ill with both TB and COVID-19 may have poorer treatment outcomes, especially if TB treatment is interrupted. TB patients should take precautions as advised by health authorities to be protected from COVID-19 and continue their TB treatment as prescribed.
Q. What is the minimum distance to be kept from each other to avoid COVID-19?
Be a hero and break the chain of COVID-19 transmission by practicing physical distancing. This means we keep a distance of at least 1m from each other and avoid spending time in crowded places or in groups.
