COVID-19 and Older Adults — Three Prevention Steps

Older adults and people of any age with underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. The good news is that there are steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones:

Step 1. Keep germs away

• Frequently wash your hands with soap and water
• Keep your living space clean and disinfected
• Always use proper cough and sneeze hygiene
• Avoid receiving visitors, unless the visitor is providing an essential service

Step 2. Make a plan

• Identify and talk with someone who can help care for you if you get sick
• Have supplies, such as medicines and groceries on hand
• Find ways to have essential items brought to your home in the event you become ill
• Create and practice alternative methods of social interaction with family and friends

Step 3. Keep up with the situation and health recommendations in your area

• Stay home if you or a family member in your household is sick
• Stay home unless you need food, medicine, or medical care
• Wear a cloth face covering when away from home and unable to ensure social distancing
• When enjoying the outdoors, always stay at least 6 feet or more from others

 If you do get sick with fever, cough, or shortness of breath, call your primary care physician immediately.
