In this current era of the Corona pandemic, the biggest question is that what can we do to avoid COVID-19 infection. In particular, senior citizens are at greater risk of acquiring this virus due to their poor immunity and multimorbidity. Therefore, senior citizens should take extra precautions in this corona pandemic.
The biggest confusion is that if we go to the hospital, we risk exposing with this infection, but if we stay at home, other diseases may get out of control.
