My question- Is training well and and staying in good shape helps to prevent the infection? Thank you

Maintaining overall good health, which includes regular physical exercise, a balanced diet, and getting enough sleep, is important for supporting your immune system. A strong immune system is vital in helping your body respond effectively to infections, including viruses like SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19.
However, it's important to understand that while good physical health can potentially lessen the severity of symptoms if you do get infected, it does not guarantee prevention against COVID-19. Even very fit and healthy people can still contract and spread the virus. The immune system's response to a novel pathogen like SARS-CoV-2 can vary greatly among individuals and depends on many factors, including age and genetics, not just overall health and fitness.
The most effective measures to prevent COVID-19 infection are:
-
Getting vaccinated: COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be highly effective at preventing severe disease, hospitalization, and death. They also reduce the risk of getting infected and transmitting the virus to others.
-
Following public health guidelines: This includes wearing masks in certain settings, practicing good hand hygiene, maintaining physical distance from others in high-risk situations (especially in indoor or crowded places), and avoiding close contact with people who are sick.
-
Regular testing: If you have symptoms of COVID-19 or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive, get tested.
Remember that recommendations may evolve as the situation changes and as new research becomes available.
