The protection of elderly and chronic patients is of the utmost importance. The elderly are also asked to pay more attention to themselves and general precautions. Visiting hospitals and nursing homes is prohibited. And nursing home administrators must do everything possible to prevent infection. If a focal point takes place in a social institution or elsewhere in the community, the epidemiological deployment unit will take the necessary actions. The operative strain provides non-invasive nursing home ventilators for more than 200 people. In addition to maintaining health protection, the government is also working on additional economic and family protection measures, they write.
