SFIC Online Briefing for Faith Leaders to Address Impact of COVID-19 on Aging Adults

Aging Adults who are 65 or older are more likely to have serious Coronavirus (COVID-19) illness. This may be because immune systems change with age, making it harder to fight off diseases and infection. Older adults are also more likely to have underlying heath conditions that make it harder to cope with and recover from illness. In addition, aging adults who live in a nursing home or long-term care facility are at even higher risk. Loneliness and anxiety, commonly experienced by those in this sector, only compound the complexity of suffering in this vulnerable population. Thursday's weekly online briefing for faith leaders, hosted by the San Francisco Interfaith Council, in collaboration with the San Francisco Departments of Public Health and Emergency Management, will address the impact of COVID-19 on aging adults, as well as State and City programs being provided to offer relief.
