According to the CDC, COVID-19 is a new disease and we are learning more about it every day. Older adults are at a higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
8 out of 10 deaths reported in the U.S. have been in adults 65 years old and older, creating a higher level of concern. Because of this, organizations should perform a risk assessment to determine if your employees that are 65-75 years old are at greater risk in your facilities and come up with a strategy to reduce those risks (e.g., barriers, social distancing, remote work, reduced schedule, etc.).
