How do I protect the elderly (elderly) in the family or neighborhood?

Older people are most susceptible to coronavirus infection, especially those who have weak immune systems or have breathing problems.

  • You can protect them by motivating them to wash their hands frequently with soap and running water. When visiting them, you also have to wash your hands with soap.
  • If you have a fever, cough or shortness of breath, do not visit the elderly or people who are physically weak. Instead, you can communicate via telephone or other means.
  • Elderly people or those with health problems should avoid crowds such as festivals, markets or other activities that bring in crowds.
  • You can help them by doing their homework while keeping in touch via telephone.
  • For the elderly, being at home all the time can be lonely, but you can cheer them up by helping them stay in touch with the outside world with a variety of communication technologies.
