Many people have caught the COVID-19 virus but some who have minor symptoms are opting to take care of themselves at home. Home isolation allows people to be close to family who provide moral support and help with boredom. This also means that there will be more hospital beds available for those who need one.
We all can relate to the difficulties of staying home while battling illness. A surprising entity has stepped in to ease the anxieties and worries of self-treating patients. Otsuka Pharmaceutical, who makes Pocari Sweat, a hydrating sports drink, has stepped up to the cause to lighten the burden.
