Loneliness is a major risk factor for the elderly and can double their problems. When COVID-19 started, things became more difficult for the elderly. The news that the elderly are at a higher risk for severe COVID-19 than others made the elderly lonelier. This is a library type study that was conducted over 2 months using valid scientific sources and books. Based on the findings of this study, we believe that focusing on education and reminding people of the necessary dos and don'ts of illness, modifying their diet, emphasizing masking, and even familiarizing the elderly with social media and virtual activities will prevent them from suffering loneliness.
孤独是老年人面临的一个主要风险因素,会使他们的问题加倍。新冠疫情开始后,老年人的处境变得更加艰难。有消息称老年人感染新冠重症的风险比其他人更高,这让他们更加孤独。这是一项类似文献研究的项目,通过有效的科学资料和书籍开展,为期两个月。基于该研究的结果,我们认为专注于教育并提醒人们疾病防治的注意事项、调整饮食、强调戴口罩,甚至让老年人熟悉社交媒体和虚拟活动,将防止他们遭受孤独。
