COVID-19 often occurs more severely in older people than in others. The reasons for this are not yet known.
Specific complications occur mainly in the elderly with chronic diseases. It is therefore important that older people follow expert advice on protective measures closely, and it is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that their fellow citizens are as safe as possible.
That is why the NIJZ has prepared a series of guidelines, information and practical advice on how to take preventive action during an epidemic. Prevention is the key way to protect our older fellow citizens and to do our utmost to reduce the risks posed to them by the new corona virus.
You can find these materials on the NICE website – link. If you or an elderly person in your family, neighbours or acquaintances need printed instructions and guidance, please contact us and we will provide it.
The project is part-funded by the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities and the European Union through the European Social Fund. The operation is financed under the Operational Programme for the Implementation of the European Cohesion Policy 2014-2020, Priority Axis 9 “Social inclusion and reducing the risk of poverty”, Priority Investment 9.1 “Active inclusion, including the promotion of equal opportunities and active participation, and improving employability”, Specific Objective 9.1.2 “Empowering target groups to move towards the labour market”.
