What can seniors do to stay safe as businesses begin to open back up? This has been a common question we have received as the stay-home order begins to lift in Michigan. Coronavirus changed the way we live our everyday lives, and it is important to remember that seniors are most at risk. As people begin to emerge from their homes and back into stores and restaurants, you may be questioning if it is safe for you to do the same. Unfortunately, this is not a “one-size-fits-all” answer, many factors like pre-existing health conditions, location, family support, etc. come into play. It also depends on your own comfort level as well, what might be best for you will not be best for someone else. And as always, if you go to public spaces you should follow social distancing guidelines.
