In the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the elderly are the key population for daily protection.
Most elderly people will suffer from one or several chronic diseases. Compared with young people, their immunity is relatively low and they are susceptible to new coronary pneumonia.
Wu Fan, a member of the Shanghai Epidemic Prevention and Control Public Health Expert Group and the deputy dean of the Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, gave many suggestions to the elderly:
Enhance your protection, improve your own immunity, and don’t go to crowded places or leave Shanghai if it’s not necessary.
She suggested that family members who live with the elderly must pay attention to the health of the elderly.
Wu Fan said that the vaccine is the best way to enhance protection. If the new crown vaccine has not been given to the elderly, please make an appointment to get it.
She hopes that the elderly should have a regular life, regular work and rest, pay attention to rest, pay attention to nutrition, and exercise properly.
At home, windows should be opened frequently for ventilation; at the same time, the elderly should maintain a happy mood.
Wu Fan hoped that the elderly are not obligatory, and they will not go if they can.
Wu Fan reminded that if you have respiratory symptoms such as fever, uncomfortable throat, and changes in your sense of smell, you must go to a medical institution as soon as possible.
