It is human nature that many elderly people attach great importance to spending time with relatives and friends during the Spring Festival. Viruses and other pathogens, including coronaviruses, are afraid of heat, and it is expected that the epidemic will improve as the weather gets warmer. With the active efforts of the state and government departments at all levels, it is only a matter of time before the epidemic is completely brought under control. Family members can use delaying tactics to comfort the elderly "wait two or three months to get together." Li pointed out that if nothing can dissuade the elderly, it is better to choose an open place, a place sheltered from the wind and not cold, and remember to wear a mask. Due to the cold winter and spring weather in the north, "in order to avoid the elderly cold disease, or do not go out to the party is appropriate."

Of course, the elderly should cancel visiting relatives and friends, and do not become "indoorsmen". They still need to maintain a certain amount of exercise every day. Children can accompany the elderly to go downstairs to exercise in open places.
