Should i really be worried about my elderly parents catching covid-19? what steps should they take to stay healthy?

Yes: Avoid contact but ensure that they have food, supplies and able to stay at home. They should drink fluids and if they develop a fever, please call your PCP right away and also consider a virtual appointment. Other symptoms to watch for include dry cough and shortness of breath. Use good hand washing and disinfect surfaces.

Keep social distance: Stay at home if they can all the time. Have underlying illness controlled if they have one. If exposed to someone who is covid 19 test positive call you doctor.
