In recent months, the coronavirus pandemic has taken a toll on all of us. As we search for ways to protect ourselves and our loved ones from this deadly virus, we may have come across some odd ideas regarding prevention - such as drinking lemon water as a cure for COVID-19.

Read on to learn whether or not consuming lemon water can protect you from the virus.
What is coronavirus?
A coronavirus is a type of virus. Many coronaviruses exist but only some cause disease. A new coronavirus termed SARSan epidemic) of the respiratory system called COVID-19.
Coronaviruses are widespread in many animal species – from camels and cattle to cats and bats – and only occasionally jump from animals into humans, or between people, as with MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) and the SARS-CoV (the virus that caused the 2002-2004 outbreak of SARS).
While most people who become infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment, Older people, and people with underlying medical problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer, are at higher risk of developing severe illness.
The only way to avoid infection is to stay up-to-date about COVID-19 virus, the disease and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based rub regularly and avoid touching your face.
Since COVID-19 is mainly passed among those infected when coughing or sneezing through saliva or nasal discharge getting into the air and onto others, ought not you.

There are a few symptoms associated with coronavirus, which include:
-Fever

These symptoms can range from mild symptoms to very severe, and could lead to death. If you have any of the above symptoms, seek medical assistance immediately. Until now there is no specific treatment for coronavirus, but early detection could lead to effective response and treatment. The treatment of coronavirus mainly concentrates on relieving symptoms and supportive therapy, ventilatory. In severe conditions, the patient are hospitalised and need for ventilator.
What is Lemon Therapy
Lemon therapy nowadays not only refers to lemon (Citrus limon), but also to lemon essential oil, a commonly used plant-based treatment for multiple diseases, including coronavirus, since lemon water is believed to be a good supplement to boost the immune system that required high vitamin C.
Lemon water is good for the digestion, reducing stress and to prevent constipation, it helps for detoxification, and weight loss. Lemon essential oil helps for colds, flu and respiratory infections.
However, based on the fact that lemon water can heal many diseases, there is no scientific evidence that it cannot cure coronavirus.
