  In fact, starting from the end of May, the overall situation of old-age care in Beijing had an improvement at that time. We have gradually let go of some old people's visits and employees' entry and exit. On June 11, an urgent statement was issued that pension institutions should strengthen closed management. We stopped the visit of the elderly urgently in the first time. Except for the commuting of a few people, all other commuting of employees was closed in the organization. Old people who go out for medical treatment must be isolated in our special quarantine area for 14 days after returning to the hospital. New employees or outgoing employees must return to the institution for 14 days of isolation to ensure safety.

  [Commentary] Wang Qi introduced that apart from ensuring closed management, the apartment immediately disinfected the canteen, kitchen, staff dormitory and public areas. In addition, it focuses on food procurement and safety management, suspends seafood and raw poultry food procurement, and strengthens control over the delivery process of vegetables.

First go for a communication and chat. The care director of our department, they are After special psychological counseling (learning). I will use some more professional methods, such as inducement, such as establishing contact with family members, to have a deeper psychological contact with the elderly and relieve the pressure of the elderly.

  The old man is actually not defensive to his condition, because the old man’s resistance is very poor, then our staff members have become equivalent to a protector of the old man’s virus. In fact, I think that compared with the front-line medical staff, we may belong to such a force of logistical support to protect the safety of the elderly in the elderly.
