Due to activity restrictions due to the corona crisis, there are concerns about a rapid increase in frailty in all ages!
Corona frailty is a weakened state of mind and body due to reduced opportunities for exercise and interaction with people due to restrictions on activities due to the corona crisis.
Frailty means the intermediate state between a healthy state and a state that requires nursing care, but there are concerns that frailty will increase and worsen not only among the elderly but also among people of all ages.
You may be frail too, unaware of your mental and physical health problems. Check it yourself with the "Frailty Check Sheet"!
If there is an item that applies to you, please refer to the "Frailty Prevention/Improvement Advice" in the pamphlet and work on building a body that can withstand the coronavirus.
