Keep Seniors Safe During Omicron Surge - Curodoc Healthcare

It primarily began with flu-like symptoms totally unrelated to the Delta variant and turned out to be highly infectious and caused as overnight rise in the number of cases, spreading across 60 countries with soaring numbers.

Omicron in Seniors

The variant is a potential threat for people with weak immunity and pre-existing comorbidities - particularly elders!

There are a few dos that our elders and seniors should follow to prevent this highly infectious variant.


The Dos:
  1. Follow Covid-19 Protocols – Wear a facemask, wash hands regularly, maintain social distancing, and getting vaccinated (booster shots) have proved to be immensely effective in preventing this variant.
  2. Use Air Purifiers - Air purifiers limit the risk of infection in elders.
  3. Be Extra-Cautious! -  Sanitize everyone who comes to your home.
  4. Socializing – Our seniors need company and human touch as much as you do. Do not make them feel they are alone, talk to your elders as much as you can.
