“COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 or the coronavirus. It directly

affects our respiratory and circulatory systems. 
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), most people infected with the
COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness, and others have no symptoms
at all. In some cases, however, COVID-19 can lead to respiratory failure, lasting lungs and heart
muscle damage, nervous system problems, kidney failure or death.
If that is the case, how can you make your respiratory and circulatory systems healthy to
prevent being infected by the virus?”
