t older persons are afraid of infection with infectious disease COVID-19, a study on the experiences of hygiene requirements among older persons during the covid-19 epidemic 95
which affects their changed way of handling food in stores and at home. Fear
of infection with COVID-19 is reflected in more often washing and disinfect-
ing hands. On one hand, measures such as social distancing prevent the spread
of infectious disease, but on the other hand, can cause psychological distress to
older persons. People need clear information and directions regarding the han-
dling of food during epidemic, and above all, a way of communication that em-
powers and reassures them.
