A World of Thanks on the eve of World Lymphoma Awareness Day
Patients suffering from lymphoma should take special care to minimize the risk of contracting Covid-19

On the eve of World Lymphoma Awareness Day on 15th September, the emphasis given by the medical community has been to protect those who are at risk of infections and adverse effects of Covid-19.
Oncologists are of the opinion that patients suffering from lymphoma should take special care to minimize the risk of contracting Covid-19. Apart from observing the general Covid protocols such as keeping away from crowded places and avoiding non-essential travels, they must take measures like consuming nutritious food, boosting the immune system by lowering stress level, getting adequate sleep, moderate physical exercise which would help the lymphoma patients to protect themselves from the virus.
The theme of this year is 'A World of Thanks' implying that each individual can decide who and what s/he is grateful for. It is an opportunity to express gratitude to those warriors who help people living with lymphoma, especially during these challenging days of the pandemic.
