MaxHealth's Monday Myth Buster
FACT: People of all ages can be infected by the COVID-19 virus
Older people and younger people can be infected by the COVID-19 virus. Older people, and people with pre-existing medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and heart disease appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus. The World Health Organization advises people of all ages to take steps to protect themselves from the virus, for example by following good hand hygiene and good respiratory hygiene.

MaxHealth's Monday Myth Buster
FACT: Cold weather CANNOT kill the COVID-19 virus
There is no reason to believe that cold weather can kill the coronavirus or other diseases. The normal human body temperature remains around 36.5°C to 37°C, regardless of the external temperature or weather. Many people have been asking whether the coronavirus can live on food, groceries or supplies that are stored in the fridge or freezer — or in some cases even the car overnight. While the CDC says COVID-19 can survive on foods and surfaces for a few hours to a few days, there are no reported instances of the virus being transmitted by food or food packaging. It is also unknown whether the virus can survive in fridges and freezers.The most effective way to protect yourself against the coronavirus is by frequently cleaning your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or washing them with soap and water.
