Gone are the days now when a degree up one’s normal body temperature could simply be called fever for in these present times, such may already be indicative of a more sinister health condition. Hence, every degree counts. This further points to the vital fact that in order to live best in the ‘new normal,’ one should always be more diligent in taking care of his or her health, be extra disciplined in observing minimum safety and health protocols, and be a responsible and reliable member of the society as the world continues with its battle against the threats and impacts of COVID-19.
