Strengthening your immunity in post-COVID times


The World Health Organization (WHO) don declare an end to the coronavirus pandemic for May 5, 2023, after three hard years of the global nightmare. 

Regardless of your personal beliefs about the pandemic, you don likely learn one or two things about viruses and the body immunity as everybody dey struggle for information so day dem go fit make sense of the situation.

Agreement dey on the importance of the immune system to fight dis cases, but the message on how to achieve and maintain good immune status to avoid falling sick dey often mixed and confusing. 

This confusion dey worsened by misinformation wen dey widely circulated at the peak of the COVID pandemic.

Virus na tiny organisms wen we nor fit see with the naked eye. thousands of viruses dey wen fit infect humans, and na only with the aid of microscope we go fit see am. 

Viruses fit only survive within living organisms. They multiply for their host and cause different diseases. Since viruses dey take advantage of low immunity to survive , their survival go depend on your cooperation.
So make you nor give dem chance!

Beware of how you fit get infected by viruses.

• Droplets: When person cough or sneeze, particles, wen dey known as respiratory droplets, dey produced. Anyone wan dey close enough fit come into contact with these infected droplets and dem go come sick. This na the reason for the popular campaign wen call for people to mask up.
• 
• Touch: People fit also get infected if dey touch dia faces (eyes, nose, or mouth) with hands wen dey contaminated with the virus. Many people learned the importance of regular handwashing during the pandemic, and for the first time, people wen never disinfect the surfaces at home come learn new habit.
• 
• Direct contact: Some viruses dey spread through direct contact with infected body secretions or surfaces.


The immune system dey made up of cells wen fit help defend the body against infections. 
Dem be the soldiers of the body, and wen dem weak or overpowered, person go easily get infections and severe forms of the disease dem dey cause.

But the pandemic don dey over; why e be say we still dey talk about COVID-19 and immunity?

You go don probably tire to hear and talk about the coronavirus, but e don dey established say the virus don come to stay. 

Dem never fit commot COVID-19 from our planet, and many several mutated strains dey . This means cases of COVID-19 go continue to happen into the foresecable future.

While we don dey live for the post-pandemic era and deaths from COVI9-19 don drop worldwide, mutated strains of the virus fit still cause severe illness, particularly in persons with low immunity.
