Coping With COVID-19: Symptoms, Measuring Vitals, Exercises

In this video, I talk about the important aspects of coping with Covid-19: Recognising symptoms, how to measure your vital signs at home, and exercises and things you can do to keep your lungs and body as healthy as possible while ill.

As I'm recovering from Covid-19, I wanted to take some time to go through the key aspects of the illness that I thought were vital for anyone to know when managing it, whether that be for yourself or for a loved one. It's important to be aware of the main symptoms, as well as when to call for help. I also share my experiences with my symptoms in the last few days.

Covid-19 affects everyone differently, and it's important that we are there for each other. Stay safe!
