What to do if the elderly get sick during the new crown pneumonia outbreak

The frequency of visits to the elderly is inherently higher than that of young people. The following measures should be taken for elderly people who become ill during the Newcastle pneumonia epidemic: 1. Elderly people with less serious illnesses can be assisted by family members to consult online or go to community hospitals first.

2. If an elderly person shows signs of a cold, it is not recommended to go to a fever clinic right away as this will increase the risk of infection. You can observe yourself first, reduce going out and avoid direct contact with children.

3.If you have to go to the hospital, do your best to protect yourself and do not touch anywhere. Before going to the hospital, family members and the elderly must wear a mask.

4.While in the hospital, be careful not to touch the outside of the mask, not to rub your eyes, and wash your hands after taking off the mask. Pay attention to protecting others, keep a distance from people, and use your elbows to block sneezing and coughing.
