As a nation, we need to focus on

Safety of Senior Citizens

“Some of the reasons older people are greatly impacted by COVID-19 include the physiological changes associated with ageing, decreased immune function and multimorbidity which expose older adults to be more susceptible to the infection itself and make them more likely to suffer severely from
COVID-19 disease and more serious complications.”

Narendra Modi

“I also appeal that the elderly, senior citizens and those above 65 years of age in our families, not leave homes for the next few weeks.”

- Narendra Modi
