As we all know, the pandemic has taken its toll on us, from the economic downturn to the loss of loved ones. We can only pray for everyone's wellbeing and donate to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that strive to provide necessities to those in need, such as shelter, medications, and oxygen tanks.

Throughout this crisis, the government has released recommendations for how to defend ourselves from the lethal virus, including how to maintain a sterile and healthy environment, as well as how to wear and what masks we can use to protect ourselves from the virus.

The Centre has also released a list of foods that will help improve your immunity in the battle against the Covid-19.

People have already begun to use home remedies derived from our culture and tradition, such as kadhas, turmeric milk, kaali mirch, and patasha, among others. The Centre has also issued a series of foods that will help protect the body from diseases and illnesses. Turmeric milk, walnuts, almonds, fruits, vegetables, and dark chocolates are all part of the Indian government's recommended diet.
