Thursday <strong>March</strong> <strong>26</strong> <strong>2020</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> 19 How to self-isolate if you’re 70+ If you’re over 70 years of age, you should stay at home (self-isolate) as a precaution. It’s a good idea to organise a plan of action by reaching out to family, friends and neighbours. For more advice go to Covid19.govt.nz Continue enjoying physical exercise – like gardening – and ensure you have a good supply of food and medication. As a helping hand, the Government has doubled the Winter Energy Payment. How to support anyone 70+ It’s really important that we all support people aged 70+ in our communities during this challenging time. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Stay at least 1 metre away. 2. Wave or nod instead of shaking hands. 3. Keep visits short (under 15 minutes). 4. Talk to neighbours over the fence. 5. Offer to pick up supplies and medicine. 6. Offer to help them connect in ways other than in person, like video chat. 7. Send videos or pictures of children rather than taking them to visit in person. For more suggestions go to Covid19.govt.nz
