Gov. Abbott noted Monday that 76 percent of all COVID-19 deaths in Texas were persons 65 and over.
The “Open Texas” report included the following recommendations for senior Texans:
• STAY HOME IF YOU CAN.
• Minimize face-to-face contact with others. Avoid young children.
• If someone is assisting you, you and your family members or caretaker should wear cloth face masks. Remember a family member or caretaker can give you the virus even if they don’t appear to have symptoms.
• If you must go out, wear a cloth face mask, and stay six feet away from others.
• Wash your hands often and for at least 20 seconds, or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
• If you have mild symptoms (difficulty breathing, or a rapidly worsening cough or fever), call your healthcare provider. If symptoms are severe, call 9-1-1.
