Bats are carriers of many deadly viruses, including rabies, Ebola, severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. The current Corona epidemic might be caused by migration of the virus from bats to humans. Scientists have hypothesized that the ability of bats to raise their body temperature during flight – to a range similar to those seen in other mammals that have a fever – may be contributed to their ability to combat these viruses.

Here is a quick list. Hot soups and hot showers are the easiest to do. Sauna would be great. And we can sunbathe in the room.
Be as creative as you can. Essentially, anything that can produce a good sweat should do, for instance, hot dance.

A side note: viruses are everywhere; it’s hard to shield ourselves completely from them. Novel forms will continue to emerge in the future, and we cannot predict what, when and where. Fundamentally, we need to improve our health and immune systems for the long run.
