During the difficult period of the movement control order, there are several things families can do to keep their elderly safe. Here are eight ways to look after them well:Be more vigilant of your elderly’s condition and alert your doctor right away if their condition changes, especially if you see any tell-tale signs of Coronavirus – fever, persistent cough and shortness of breath.
No matter how hard it is, keep family members, friends and visitors away or at least practise social distancing. Stay 1.8 meters distance from them. Consider using telemedicine as the first option if the elderly person’s condition changes. In Malaysia, Doc2Us, TELLME and several others offer such services.Make sure your elderly continues to stay active by exercising within their limits.Ensure that they still take their medications. See if you can get an extra supply, just to be sure as the pandemic may last for a while, and supplies can run out.
