Some habits of the elderly are more likely to lead to novel coronavirus infections and should be avoided during the epidemic: 1. Eat wild game or freshly killed live poultry: The source of novel coronavirus infections may be wild animals, and some elderly people will eat wild game for the so-called tonic, while others are used to freshly killed live poultry, which greatly increases the probability of infection. Older people should be reminded not to touch and eat wild animals, and to make sure to buy compliantly processed meat and cook it before consumption.
2, like to go out and interact with people in close proximity: new pneumonia is spread mainly through droplet transmission, but also through contact, so be sure to go to public places less often.
3. Meeting relatives or attending gatherings frequently: Older people place more importance on customs such as visiting relatives and New Year’s Eve, which greatly increases the risk of infection and should be reasonably discouraged.
