In his post  , the prime minister had advised  that  Prevention is better than cure and while  there is no medicine for COVID 19 as of now,  it will be good to take preventive measures which  boost our immunity. The Prime minister stressed on the  Power of Ayurveda and it's power in boosting  the immune system. The measures included drinking warm water  throughout the day, practising yogasan, pranayama, meditation for at least 30 minutes ,   taking  chyavanprash 10gm every morning, adding turmeric, jeera, dhaniya and garlic in cooking ,drinking  herbal tea/golden milk etc.

Further the Honourable  Prime Minister has established  a task force for scientific validation  of Ayurveda and traditional medicine formulae through  research  institutions like  ICMR to be used in the treatment  of COVID 19. To spread awareness about the measures and ways that help in boosting immunity,

the ministry of Ayush  and  Ministry of information Technology Meity  has come up  with 'Ayush  Sanjivani ' App which  was launched by Dr Harshavardhan ,  Union health and family welfare in New Delhi. On the occasion, the minister also published    two Ayush based studies  related to COVID 19 treatment in New Delhi.

Highlighting  the importance of harnessing  technology for COVID 19 response ,  the Union  minister said the Ayush Sanjivani Mobile App will help to generate data on acceptance and usage of Ayush advocacies and measures among the population and it's impact in prevention of COVID 19.The app is intended to  reach out to a target of 50 lakh people.

Shri Ramkumar from Coimbatore says Ayurveda can boost immunity of the system and Sanjivani App will help  the public  to know about the preventive measures of simple home  remedies.

Smt Akalya says her family who settled in Coimbatore from Kerala is dependent on the Ayurvedic form of treatment. In strengthening  the immunity , Ayurveda is always  helpful and she thanked the Government for launching a special app .

Adhithyan,  a school student from SIHS colony Coimbatore says Sanjivani App is helpful for children and Elders in advising on various measures of boosting immunity as they are more vulnerable to COVID 19 virus.
