    Explanation
    Adhering to instructions from the government is the best way to help fight the Covid-19 virus. Governments and health authorities have access to the most up-to-date information and expertise, and their instructions are based on scientific evidence and research. By following these instructions, individuals can contribute to slowing down the spread of the virus, protecting themselves and others, and supporting the overall efforts to combat the pandemic. Isolating oneself and distancing oneself are also important measures, but they are included in the broader concept of adhering to government instructions. Praying, although a personal choice for many, does not directly contribute to fighting the virus.
