Dr. Willie Ong Clarifies Coronavirus Epidemic Not Yet Done
CORONAVIRUS – Doctor Willie Ong stressed that the epidemic is not yet done and it has yet to reach the peak.
This 2020, one of the biggest challenges that many countries faced is the novel coronavirus which started a year ago. Several countries got confirmed cases of the disease that hit China in 2019.
The novel coronavirus or nCoV is one of the many strains of coronaviruses. It was first recorded in Wuhan City in the province of Hubei with symptoms including fever, shortness of breath, and cough.
In China, more than 40,000 individuals were infected and at least 900 died of the said disease. Wuhan City is now under a lock-down to curb the spread of the disease.
According to Dr. Willie Ong, the coronavirus epidemic is not yet done. He stressed that there are still many cases in China and it has yet to reach its peak.
Doc Willie advised the people to use cloth for mouth and nose covering in case there is no medical mask available. Masks ran out of stocks since the Department of Health (DOH) confirmed the first nCoV case in the Philippines.
Based on the video, it is best for both Pinoy and foreigners to practice self-quarantine for ten (10) days if they are from Hong Kong or China. The former is one of those countries that are greatly affected by the disease outbreak in China.
The doctor expressed that the virus has a huge chance of circulating in malls, offices, and schools because of the air-conditioning unit. An open air is suggested if someone is sick.
Based on the video, to end the presence of virus, a person must boost his or her immune system and eat fruits and vegetables. It is not good to bask under the sun and to take certain drinks as well.
Doc Willie advises calling a medical expert first instead of going to the hospital right away if you are sick. You may obtain other serious diseases from the hospital.
