MEDICAL:
Covid - 19 is a new disease and therefore questions around how it affects our health, how we can avoid it spreading and how to protect each other may arise. Recommendations such as hand washing, self-isolation and cocooning may be difficult to understand or remember for a person with dementia and practical guides, posters and videos can help people to retain the information. In addition it can be helpful to plan for any emergency that may arise.
