The moving average of daily cases fell from 1345 on March 7 to 479 on Sunday, while the moving average of daily deaths fell from 49.9 to 27.4 during the same period, according to data from Johns University Hopkins.

The number of infections is believed to be much higher than what has been reported because many people have not been tested and studies suggest that people can get infected with the virus without feeling bad.

Tips for Keeping a Strong Immune System Exercising and eating well are vital.

To protect yourself from possible infection, the CDC recommends:

    cough and shortness of breath. These, of course, are similar to the common cold and the flu.

    Expect a cold to start with a sore or itchy throat, cough, runny nose, and / or stuffy nose. Flu symptoms are more intense and usually come on suddenly and can include a high fever. They usually include fever, a dry cough, and noticeable shortness of breath, according to the World Health Organization. A minority of cases develop pneumonia, and the disease is of particular concern to the elderly and those with other medical conditions such as high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes or heart problems.

    To protect yourself, wash your hands well and often, keep them away from your face, and avoid crowds and keep close to people.

    And if you have any of these flu or coronavirus symptoms, don’t go straight to your doctor. It just risks making more people sick, officials insist. Call ahead and ask if and where you need to be seen.
