With international borders to be reopened on Thursday, travelling would definitely increase and so will the risk for the virus to spread increase
Professor Salim Abdool, who is a specialist for infectious disease said when it came to the needs of elderly people, balance was vital for the elderly ones who are the most vulnerable to COVID-19 and were largely isolated for their safety.
With international borders to be reopened on Thursday, travelling would definitely increase and so will the risk for the virus to spread increase.
On International Day for Older Persons on Thursday, experts have made it known that the elderly are the ones who are most vulnerable since there’s no vaccine available yet.
Karim is urging caution:
“As we are going into the holidays and we are going to travel to visit loved ones, we are going to see a situation where the elderly will be at a higher-risk situation. But I think if we keep to our prevention measures, we can mitigate that risk.”
