As people age, their immune systems change, making it harder for their body to fight off diseases and infection. Many older adults are also more likely to have underlying health conditions that make it harder to cope with and recover from illness, as well. The link above, which will redirect you to the National Council on Aging's website, has helpful information concerning what older adults need to know about the Coronavirus.
Due to the COVID-19 State of Emergency and a Major Disaster Declaration approved by the President of the United States for South Carolina, the South Carolina Department on Aging is requesting a one-time, one-year extension with the Administration for Community Living (ACL) of its 2016 – 2020 State Plan on Aging.
