Doctor spoke about the danger of self-isolation for pensioners


Elderly people who move little during self-isolation due to coronavirus can become sedentary and lay sick, Israeli doctor Leonid Eidelman said. According to him, stress, overeating and slow-moving lifestyle threaten elderly people to exacerbate chronic diseases. Eidelman also noted that pensioners began to avoid visiting polyclinics, which threatens to deteriorate the state of health.

According to the news agency, as of April 4, 4,732 cases of coronavirus infection were registered in Russia, 43 people died.

Earlier, the chief doctor of the hospital in Communark, Denis Procenko, said that he was surprised by the age of the first patients with COVID-19 pneumonia admitted for treatment, they were much younger than the doctors assumed.
