Easy Yet Practical Immune Boosters for Workers Amid COVID-19 

Whether or not you are working from home, it’s important that your immune system stays in tip-top shape considering the spike in the numbers for COVID-19. There are hundreds of researches and tips online that detail what preventive measures one must take, so we’ve made it easier for you by narrowing down the simplest but practical ways that you and your household can take to strengthen your immune system.

• Get vaccinated.

  
  

• The first step toward protecting yourself, your family, and co-workers would be to get that shot. Sign up at your nearest LGU or ask your employer for vaccination plans.

  
  

• Wear a properly fitted mask.

  
  

• While this is the most obvious thing to do outdoors, sometimes you may consider wearing one even inside the house, especially if someone in your household has a weakened immune system or is unvaccinated. 

  
  

• Be cautious of your environment.

  
  

• COVID-19 likes closed and crowded spaces that are conducive to close contact. Go for outdoor spaces or activities, or open a window. Schedule proper cleaning routines that would disinfect all the important areas in the house. That said, practice keeping a safe distance from other people as well.

  
  

• Be cautious of your health.

  
  

• Having unhealthy eating habits, depriving yourself of sleep, and being too stressed put you at a higher risk of disease of any type, not just COVID-19. It’s also good to drink as much water as you can. Don’t forget your vitamins and zinc, and wash your hands frequently. 

  
  

• Sign up for the Bnfts’s COVID support programs.

  
  

• From hospitalization financial assistance to intensive care financial assistance, Philinsure’s CHAP (Covid Hospitalization Assistance Program), in partnership with eTiQa, can help ease the financial burden of workers and their families who are diagnosed with COVID-19.
