Rather than just being irresponsible or unreasonable, the older generation may find it harder to abide by the rules. Here's how you can help.

Since the implementation of the circuit breaker, many people have been caught flouting the rules, with a fair share of them being the elderly. 

Rather than just being irresponsible or unreasonable, the older generation may find it harder to abide by the rules because they are not well-informed on why they need to stay at home.

Here’s a couple of coronavirus safety videos in different dialects that you can share with the elderly to help them understand why it is important to stay home and stay safe!
