He had said that a new pandemic will hit the countries from a different pathogen and not from the coronavirus family. Speaking to the media, he also said that the risks of severe diseases from COVID-19 have "dramatically reduced" as vaccines have become more widely available for the common people.

Since the COVID virus is spreading its tentacles again, here are some of the safety measures that one needs to follow after testing positive for COVID-19 virus infection.
The first and the foremost thing that one should do after testing positive for COVID-19 is -- self-isolating. As soon as you have tested positive for the Coronavirus, you must self-isolate as soon as possible. Why? This way you won't' spread the virus to others and this will also help you in the recovery process.
Keep a tab on your symptoms, and do not ignore any severe signs. COVID can turn fatal in no time. Keep a check on your body's symptoms after testing positive for COVID-19.
Seek medical help and inform your physician about all the symptoms and everything that your body is going through.
One of the best ways to recover quickly is to follow a good lifestyle. Sleep well. Once you test positive for COVID-19, make sure to not exert yourself any further. give your body proper rest and allow it to recover from this deadly virus infection. Another important thing is to make sure to follow a healthy diet.
