If the elderly at home always believe in epidemic rumors, they should be guided to watch authoritative official news, such as helping them download CCTV news clients and directing them to follow news from regular channels such as CCTV news microblogs and WeChat. Tell the elderly at home not to spread unconfirmed rumors to avoid causing unnecessary panic and blind optimism. Tell the elderly that they may be legally responsible for spreading rumors that affect the social order. Also inform the elderly to stay away from home as much as possible to reduce the risk of being infected. If they do need to go out, make sure to wear a mask, avoid close contact with people as much as possible, and clean up hygienically when they return home.
