Can you Prevent COVID-19?

Learn a more proactive approach to prevent yourself and loved ones from getting COVID-19. How do you reduce the severity of the infection?

Until the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available, here's what you can do -

A more proactive and productive approach should be adopted by Singaporeans, instead of cowering in fear at the proximity of another human being to you.

As shown in the most current research, Vitamin C and Zinc complex has found to bring down the viral load in COVID patients. The viral-shedding from asymptomatic patients is much less than a COVID patient with URTI (Upper respiratory tract infection) and ARI (Acute respiratory infection) symptoms (Viral shedding occurs over a period of between 24 to 42 days from symptom onset. Ref : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0869-5).

Vitamins & Nutrients for a Well-functioning Immune Systems to Protect against COVID-19 & other Viral Infections

(Ref: Nutrients. 2020 Apr 23;12(4). pii: E1181. doi: 10.3390/nu12041181 Optimal Nutritional Status for a Well-Functioning Immune System Is an Important Factor to Protect against Viral Infections Calder PC¹, Carr AC², Gombart AF³, Eggersdorfer M⁴.

Asymptomatic patients may not display no symptoms of illness. Vulnerable people should get vaccinated against Influenza as the stop gap until the COVID vaccine is found. The Flu vaccine would protect susceptible people from, as well as exclude the Flu 2020 and H1N1 viruses should they start to show URTI or ARI symptoms.

Reduce your risk of getting sick with COVID-19

• Make sure your vaccinations are up-to-date. People older than 65 years, and those with many underlying conditions, such as those who are immunocompromised or with significant liver disease, are recommended to receive vaccinations against influenza (Flu 2020) and pneumococcal disease (PCV).
• Do not delay getting medical care for your underlying condition because of COVID-19. AMDA International Peace Clinic has contingency MOH infection prevention protocols to protect you from getting COVID-19 if you need care for your underlying condition.
• Continue your medications and do not change your treatment plan without talking to your doctor.
• Make sure that you have at least a two-week supply of your chronic disease medications.
• Call AMDA @ Tel: 6694 1661 for a medical appointment if you have any concerns about your underlying medical conditions or if you get sick. AMDA is a PHPC-accredited medical clinic. Under the MOH Swab & Go Home programme, our doctors can do a COVID-19 PCR Swab test if you meet the MOH medical crtieria.

Get Vaccinated!

Why the Flu Vaccination is Important

during the COVID-19 Pandemic

- Influenza 2020 Vaccine

The latest 2020 Influenza Vaccine is now available. It protects against the Flu 2020 and H1N1 Viruses. In the event that a person displays flu-like symptoms after the Flu vaccination, both Flu 2020 and H1N1 may be excluded in his diagnosis, and treatment can be sought quickly should the patient have contracted COVID-19.

Ministry of Health Safety protocols are adhered to at all times for the safe vaccination of you and your family.

Get Exercising!

People should be encouraged to exercise and eat healthier, instead of just staying at home and consuming more food than they should, while whiling away their time. Otherwise our population will emerge unhealthier than when we entered lockdown. (Ref : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41430-020-0642-3.pdf)
