1. Effective Home Measures to Combat Corona Virus Outbreak

During the peak of the Wuhan coronavirus pneumonia outbreak caused by the new strain of corona virus, individuals can proactively undertake this at-home practice easily to boost immunity, self-prevent, and minimize the spread of infection for themselves and the community.

Wash Hands Immediately Upon Arrival
To prevent infectious diseases, washing hands properly and immediately upon arriving home is the easiest and most effective way. It can help prevent diseases such as the common cold, flu, COVID-19, enterovirus (causing acute flaccid paralysis in children), norovirus (causing diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain), rotavirus (causing acute diarrhea in children), hepatitis A, bacterial dysentery, typhoid, and diarrhea…

Frequently wash hands with soap and clean water; or alcohol-based hand sanitizers and avoid touching eyes, nose, or mouth with hands

Furthermore, upon returning home, we should also change clothes immediately to avoid bringing bacteria from outside into the house.

Frequently Clean Frequently Used Items Such as Computers, Phones, and Door Handles
Maintaining cleanliness and disinfection in the household or workplace is also the focus of preventing the 'Wuhan pneumonia' outbreak. According to information from scientists, the virus can be found on door handles, mobile phones, computer keyboards, and water taps. If you touch these places with your hands and then touch your eyes or eat with your hands, you may become infected indirectly.

Cut Back on Gaming Time If You Frequent Internet Cafes

It's advisable to use alcohol-based solutions to regularly clean your phone, computer keyboard, and even wash hands with alcohol-based solutions to reduce the risk of Corona virus infection.

Enhance Air Purification
Enclosed spaces like homes, offices, or classrooms need regular ventilation. Air purifiers capable of filtering viruses, bacteria, mosquitoes, dust, and fine PM2.5 particles can be used. Besides during outbreaks, cleaning indoor air also improves respiratory health and boosts daily immunity.
Plasmacluster Ion is Sharp's exclusive air purification technology, which actively eliminates bacteria, restricts virus spread in the air, and removes allergens and unpleasant odors. Sharp air purifiers are equipped with HEPA filters according to Jem1467 standard set by Japan Electrical Manufacturers’ Association (JEMA), capable of filtering ultra-fine 0.3 micrometer dust and PM2.5 fine dust.
This unique Plasmacluster Ion technology has been proven effective in eliminating bacteria and dirt in polluted air, making the air cleaner and fresher. Embracing these positive signals, Sharp continues to innovate to bring the benefits of Plasmacluster to society.

In Vietnam, Plasmacluster was analyzed and tested by the Central Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, showing a 96.5% eradication rate of H5N1 virus in a more complex environment than the air.

Hand Hygiene Before, During, and After Cooking
There are many times when handwashing is necessary at home, especially:
- Before, during, and after cooking.
- Before eating.
- Before and after treating wounds.
- Before and after caring for sick people, going in and out of hospitals.

- Before touching infants and young children.
Note: Wash hands for at least 30 seconds, repeating each action at least 5 times.

Supplement Essential Nutrients to Boost Antibodies
Immunity is the body's ability to resist invading pathogens. There are two types: natural immunity and acquired immunity. Synthesized immunity benefits from a balanced diet, vaccination, and regular exercise.
First and foremost, remember that a balanced diet is essential for maintaining a healthy body. A meal should contain all the essential nutrient groups: carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
Furthermore, to boost immunity, we need to consume plenty of fruits and vegetables along with drinking more than 1.5 liters of water per day. Below is a list of foods that both enhance immunity and prevent flu.
