How can i know if i'm healthy enough to fight off the novel coronavirus?

No guarantees: However, the disease is mild in the majority of people. Those who have poorly controlled underlyting health conditions and who are 65 years or older will have increased risks.

Do your best: The best ways to be prepared are to practice social distancing, and to keep your home environment as virus-free as you can. Risk factors such as age and chronic illnesses are things you can’t control, so do things to support your immune system, eat as much fresh foods as you can, get good sleep, and stay as positive mentally as you can. If you need more input on your personal health, see your doc
