I want to let the speaker advice the government to take the matter seriously and conduct a nationwide test for the virus among people to stop its spread quickly. This should be done at dispensaries as well as in the hospital, and other points should be opened to get rid of the spread of the epidemic promptly. Again I would like to know from the speaker the healthy diet that can really help the old be to fight the virus through enhancing their immune system. Further, I would like to know the first aid that an infected person can be given to help them before they are taken to the hospital.
