Precautions To Be Taken During The Pandemic By
Parkinsons Disease Patients Dr. Shivam Mittal
Covid-19 is one of the most dreadful diseases
today. It is a virus that brings cough, cold,
fever, and breathlessness. All in all, it is a
respiratory disorder affecting the lungs, choking
them so bad that it may even lead to death.
Moreover, the virus is more likely to affect
those who are suffering from other illnesses too,
and are low on immunity levels. This clearly
proves that a major sector of the population
that can be affected is the senior citizen age
group. Hence, senior citizens are the most
vulnerable to the virus.

• Since most Parkinson's Disease patients are in
  their senior years, we would want each one to be
  prepared for both Parkinson's Disease and
  Covid-19.
• Seniors are the most at risk to develop the
  symptoms of Covid-19, which can lead to the
  development of pneumonia. This is why it is
  important that senior consider getting the
  pneumonia vaccine as soon as possible.

• As we know, the virus spreads from person to
  person. Senior citizens must thus try to stay as
  much isolated as possible. Staying within their
  own room, away from other family members, or any
  guests that visit is a wise decision. Also,
  senior citizens must try as much as possible not
  to move out of home, no matter what. And, those
  senior citizens who live in communities or
  assisted living centers must avoid communal
  rooms, and also sanitize often.
• Sanitization during the pandemic involves washing
  hands with soap and water often or at least
  using a sanitizer, especially when having
  touched people or objects. The best sanitizer to
  be used is one having at least 60 alcohol.
• In case senior citizens have to move out of home,
  they must limit their outdoor time, and while
  theyre out, they must wear a mask or cloth face
  cover at all times. Also, when they need to use a
  seat, table, or vehicle, they must sanitize the
  place thoroughly before using it.
• With Parkinson's disease, it is really difficult
  to move, let alone going out of the house every
  now and then. And, with the virus being spread
  so quickly, it becomes even more important to
  move out once and stock up on essential supplies
  for the entire month, or at least a fortnight.
  In fact, wed suggest you have a friend or
  neighbor do the shopping for you. Or, you could
  have a home delivery system in place from the
  grocer or online.
• Whether indoors or outdoors, make it a practice
  to social distance, that is, stay at least 6
  feet away from others. Also, avoid any kinds of
  crowded places, whether it is a market, or a
  gathering at home.
• As a Parkinson's Disease patient, you may have a
  list of medications to take every day. But,
  instead of going to the medical store every now
  and then, it is advisable to stock up on

your medications at one time. However, if you do
have to reorder, try doing so over the phone or
online for home delivery. As a Parkinsons
Disease patient, you may also have to make
regular visits to your doctor. So, while you do
so, youll have to take all the above mentioned
precautions in order to stay safe. Keep your
face covered, keep yourself at a safe distance
from others, and keep yourself and your
surroundings well-sanitized. However, if you are
being treated under the guidance of Dr. Shivam
Mittal, he will make sure that you dont come to

treatment in UAE at this clinic, you can rest
