Stay At Home Order Affecting the Physical and Mental Health of the Elderly

The Health Ministry will be launching a mental health initiative in response to the novel Coronavirus, COVID-19 which will focus on the elderly. That’s the word from Health Minister, Dr. Christopher Tufton. 

He says senior citizens are an important part of the population, mainly because many have underlying conditions, making them the most vulnerable to the virus. Even better, this week is senior citizen’s week and the theme is “advancing the health and wellbeing of the older person amid COVID-19“.
