During the coronavirus pandemic there are steps your senior can take to help to reduce the risk of exposing herself to these germs. These steps are a lot simpler than they seem and they\u2019re highly effective.<\/p>\n

Avoid Being Around People Who Are Sick<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there are people in your senior\u2019s life that you know are sick, make sure that your senior is able to keep far away from them. This is good practice at any time, but it\u2019s especially important now during the coronavirus pandemic. Likewise, if your elderly family member feels as if she is sick, even with just a cold, she should avoid being around other people.<\/p>\n

Cover Coughs and Sneezes<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"It\u2019s always a good idea to cover coughs and sneezes, because coughs and sneezes are part of how germs are spread. Sneezes and coughs, and the microparticles within those fluids, can cover a lot more ground than you and your senior might expect. The more people cover when they\u2019re coughing or sneezing, the more that those particles are kept close to the person that emitted them.<\/p>\n

Clean High Use Surfaces Often<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any surfaces that are used often, like doorknobs, light switches, and countertops, come in contact with a lot of germs. When you clean those surfaces often, though, you\u2019re doing a lot more to keep those germs from coming in contact with someone who doesn\u2019t need to be exposed to them. Simple cleaning products work just fine.<\/p>\n

Disinfect Surfaces, Too<\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s really important after cleaning, especially for high use surfaces, is to disinfect those surfaces. Using an is important, because that means that you\u2019re doing as much as possible to kill any coronavirus germs that may have gotten into your senior\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

Use Proper Hand Washing Techniques<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hand washing is one of the most effective preventative measures your senior can take right now. She doesn\u2019t have to use anything fancy. Plain soap and any temperature water are fine. She does need to wash her hands continuously for twenty seconds or longer for the greatest impact. If she\u2019s in a place where she can\u2019t wash her hands yet, hand sanitizer can help. It must contain at least sixty percent alcohol to be completely effective.<\/p>\n

If your senior lives alone, this might be a lot for her to keep up with on her own. Senior care providers can handle a variety of these tasks, particularly the ones related to cleaning and disinfecting, so that your senior is as safe as possible.<\/p>\n
