Question: What are some things I should encourage my old father to follow to protect himself?

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Coronavirus (COVID-19) advice for older people
section_headers: Protecting yourself
section_content: As we move towards a COVIDSafe Australia, it is
important for people at greater risk of serious illness if they get COVID-19
to take extra steps to protect themselves.
You should maintain good hygiene and take care when interacting with other
people. These are the best defences for you and your family against
coronavirus. This includes:

covering your coughs and sneezes with your elbow or a tissue
disposing of used tissues immediately into a rubbish bin and washing your hands
washing your hands often with soap and water, including before and after eating and after going to the toilet, and when you have been out to shops or other places
using alcohol-based hand sanitisers (60% alcohol), where available
cleaning and disinfecting surfaces you have touched
staying 1.5 metres away — 2 arms’ length — from other people. This is an example of physical distancing
continuing to stay at home and avoid contact with others
continuing to avoid non-essential travel
considering having the chemist deliver your medicines
considering having your groceries and essential items delivered to your home
downloading the COVIDSafe app to your smartphone for the times you do need to go out — the Older Persons COVID-19 Support Line can help you with this

Read our fact sheet about the support available to
you if you are isolated and finding it difficult
to access food and basic household items.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Provides detailed advice on preventing the spread of coronavirus that's relevant to the elderly.
The question does a very good job of addressing what people that are higher risk should do to stay safe from the virus. And of course, an older man would be included in that. But the answer doesn't specifically address that particular group - and that's what group is asked about in the question.

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Easing of coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions
section_headers: Staying committed to flattening the curve
section_content: Each step we take needs to be underpinned by a strong commitment from all of
us to:

stay 1.5 metres away from other people whenever and wherever we can
maintain good hand washing and cough/sneeze hygiene
stay home when we’re unwell, and get tested if we have respiratory symptoms or a fever, and
download the COVIDSafe app so we can find the virus quickly

Our success depends on us making these behaviours part of our daily lives
during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep us COVIDSafe.
Whenever you leave home, you should think about how you’re going to keep
yourself, family, friends and co-workers safe. Make conscious choices about
what you do and when you do it.
This is particularly important for people who are at greater risk of serious
illness from COVID-19, their friends and
their family.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Provides general advice on how to stay healthy that also applies to the elderly.
The answer addresses what people should do in general in order to stay safe from the virus. But it doesn't specifically address if there are things an older man should be doing to stay safe - and that is the specific thing asked for in the question.

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Australia – Pandemic Health Intelligence Plan
section_headers: Community acceptance and adherence
section_content: 
Effectiveness of measures depends on the community understanding, accepting and following public health advice.
The plan includes monitoring how well the public is adhering to health guidance, including community attitudes, transport and traffic movements, and movement data.

Gathering this information will allow Australian governments to make evidence-
based decisions about the measures required to continue to suppress the spread
of COVID-19 during the next phases of our response.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Discusses government data collection instead of providing safety tips for individual citizens.
The plan gives very general information about how plans can be effective, but nothing is mentioned specifically about what should be done in the plan. And there is nothing that talks about what steps should be taken to keep an older man safe, which is what is asked for in the question.
